A key question that remains in biology and biophysics is how three-dimensional tissue shapes emerge during animal development. Research teams have now found a mechanism by which tissues can be ...

Synthetic tissue models offer a realistic testing alternative to the use of live animals and cadavers. Centuries of scientific and medical strides since the Renaissance would have been impossible ...

Researchers have found that spraying a gel on the internal tissues of animals after cardiac surgery greatly reduces adhesions, fibrous bands that form between internal organs and tissues. Adhesions ...

Samantha Garrard receives funding from NERC. Plastic debris poses a particularly significant problem. Marine mammals mistakenly eat items such as plastic bags, food wrappers, ropes and abandoned ...
