An "out-of-this-world" project has the potential to transform the future of tissue engineering and liver transplantation through innovative research conducted aboard the International Space Station ...

"Instead of raising animals, we create meat from cells."Cultured meat and cellular food products are research areas that ...

Inside cells there are tiny particles, known as extracellular vesicles, that store and move molecules. Our cells naturally package beneficial proteins and healing compounds into these tiny bubbles, ...

The contraction process involves interactions between actin and myosin filaments within the sarcomeres to generate force. Recent research has achieved significant advances in functional design, ...

Four patented Tissue Orb bioreactors within spaceflight hardware. This configuration will be launched into space and installed into the International Space Station during the first flight experiment ...

Karin Wuertz-Kozak described her lab test equipment as a gym for cells. Stretching and compressions tests using bioreactors—her lab equipment—can make a difference in understanding how cells respond ...

Schematic of a typical bioreactor. Key components include the reactor tank, agitation system, feeding pump, thermal jacket, submerged aerator, and sensor probes for monitoring and maintaining optimal ...
