University researchers have developed a new connective tissue model to study disorders like fibrosis, a type of scarring that occurs when damage to the body causes normal tissue to be replaced by hard ...

At TU Wien, researchers are developing three-dimensional (3D) printing techniques that can be used to create living biological tissue—for example, to study skin diseases.

• A dual-function peptide developed for in-situ engineering native extracellular matrix. • The dual-function peptide specifically anchors endogenous endothelial cells to extracellular matrix. Ischemic ...

For in vitro cellular assays, the extracellular matrix—the material between cells—often is overlooked, but changes within this microenvironment affect cells’ proliferation and differentiation and, ...
