"Instead of just seeing a cell's shape, for instance ... more detailed and higher-resolution picture of the structure of ...

A team of researchers led by Emory's Chunhui Xu recently found that heart muscle cells can grow and survive in the microgravity environment of space. The team's findings, published in Biomaterials, ...

Researchers have developed a way of bioprinting tissues that change shape as a result of cell-generated forces, in the same way that it happens in biological tissues during organ development.

In their experiment, Xu’s team assembled bundles of heart muscle cells into microscopic three-dimensional spheroids that mimicked the structure and function of the human heart. The team froze ...
