A new type of bioreactor that can grow human veins in the lab has been developed by CSEM and ClexBio, a Nordics-based startup specialized in regenerative medicine. Funded by the Research Council of ...

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 ...

Tissue Engineering (TE) strategies combining stem cells, biomaterial scaffolds, and biochemical/physical cues have emerged as promising approaches for the repair/replacement of injured tissues and ...

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 ...

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 ...

Humanoid robots can encourage human tendon cells to grow by stretching them in the same way people do when moving. A robotic shoulder that stretches, presses, and twists lab-grown human tendon tissue ...

For most investigators the culture of mammalian cells has meant the use of traditional flasks or dishes. While this technique has proved useful for many studies, it is widely recognized that cells ...

A review paper by scientists at the University of Oxford discussed possible benefits of using humanoid musculoskeletal robots and soft robotic systems as bioreactor platforms in producing clinically ...

Microgravity offers a unique condition for tissue engineering, advancing stem cell-derived liver tissue development. But how can we transport these tissues to Earth without damaging them? Researchers ...

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 ...

(BOSTON) — The majority of human illnesses is caused by damage of a single organ like the liver whose failure accounts for 2M deaths worldwide every year. Orthotopic transplants are the only curative ...
