Researchers have uncovered how different types of brain cells work together to form large-scale functional networks in the human brain -- interconnected systems that support everything from sensory ...

From the time we are conceived and through old age, genetic mutations accumulate in all our tissues, eluding the body’s typically efficient DNA repair machinery and potentially affecting our health ...

A new light-controlled hydrogel developed at CU Boulder mimics the movement and flexibility of real tissue, giving scientists ...

As a researcher, I still remember the discomfort I felt every time I had to sacrifice laboratory animals for an experiment.

For decades, lab-grown cells have been studied in materials that don't reflect the softness and flexibility of human tissue.
