Minnesota engineers developed fluid-filled 3D-printed tissues that mimic the feel of surgery, earning praise from surgeons.

Cultured neural tissues have been widely used as a simplified experimental model for brain research. However, existing ...

For decades, scientists have known that bacteria can exchange genetic material, in a process called horizontal gene transfer.

People are increasingly turning to software to design complex material structures like airplane wings and medical implants. But as design models become more capable, our fabrication techniques haven't ...

Every new life begins after a genetic shuffle. When organisms make eggs or sperm, maternal and paternal chromosomes pair up ...
