The mechanical properties of tissue matrix are crucial for maintaining cell health and function. With aging, tissue matrix loses its mechanical integrity and exhibits altered biophysical properties, ...

Single-cell analyses have emerged as powerful tools for studying cellular heterogeneity and gene regulation. Single-cell chromatin accessibility sequencing (scCAS) is a key technology that enables the ...

Biofilms, ubiquitous bacterial communities embedded in a slimy matrix, are the oldest form of multicellularity on earth; they are extremely resistant to antibiotics and stick tenaciously to most ...

Scientists at the University of Osaka have developed a novel hydrogel that enables the efficient, three-dimensional (3D) culture of human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). Subscribe to our ...

Research and drug discovery are undergoing a transformation, driven by the rise of 3D cell culture models that better replicate human biology. Unlike traditional 2D cultures and animal models, which ...
