A Cornell-led collaboration has developed microscale magnetic particles that can mimic the ability of biological materials such as proteins and nucleic acids to self-assemble into complex structures, ...

A biomaterial that can mimic certain behaviors within biological tissues could advance regenerative medicine, disease ...

The tongues of chameleons and salamanders might not seem like the inspiration for tomorrow's engineering breakthroughs, but inside the Deban Laboratory at the University of South Florida, biology and ...

A new biomaterial developed by Penn State engineers mimics a key building block of human tissue, extracellular matrices, which act like scaffolding and enable cells to heal after damage. UNIVERSITY ...

If gut bacteria are too similar to the protective layer of nerves, they can misdirect the immune system and cause it to attack its own nervous system. This mechanism can accelerate the progression of ...

A biomaterial that can mimic certain behaviors within biological tissues could advance regenerative medicine, disease modeling, soft robotics and more, according to researchers at Penn State.

Aposematic signalling describes the use of conspicuous colours, patterns or sounds by prey to advertise the presence of toxins or other defences to potential predators. This system relies on predator ...
