During brain development, neurons extend long processes called axons. Axons link different areas of the brain and carry ...

Findings from a study co-led by UTSW reveal a possible mechanism behind a malignancy that has risen rapidly over the past few ...

Researchers in South Korea have developed an organoid disease model and non-destructive stiffness analysis technology for evaluating the efficacy of new drugs for fatty liver disease. The research ...

Early-onset colorectal cancer is associated with markedly increased tissue stiffness and fibrosis, suggesting a distinct ...

Fibrosis of the lungs is often a silent disease until it's too late. By the time patients are diagnosed, the scarring of their lung tissue is already advanced, and current treatments offer little more ...

Researchers at Rochester Institute of Technology are investigating how mechanical forces—such as stretching and changes in tissue stiffness—influence viral infection rates in the lungs to understand ...

Researchers from the Roger Williams Institute of Liver Studies at King's College London developed two 3D models from human tissue to understand the effects that a drug—a cyclophilin inhibitor—has on ...

Increased stiffness of the colon, spurred by chronic inflammation, may encourage the development and progression of early-onset colorectal cancer (CRC), a study co-led by UT Southwestern Medical ...
