Scientists have developed a synthetic extracellular matrix (ECM) that can support the growth of a mini endometrium in a dish for at least two weeks. The endometrium -- the mucosal lining of the uterus ...

UK biotech Engitix has raised a $25 million series A extension from existing investor Netherton Investments, investing on behalf of BlueCrest Capital Management co-founder Mike Platt. The funding will ...

For in vitro cellular assays, the extracellular matrix—the material between cells—often is overlooked, but changes within this microenvironment affect cells’ proliferation and differentiation and, ...

A joint research team develops robust and stretchable extracellular matrix (ECM) membrane reinforced by nanofiber scaffolds. Animal models are widely used for evaluating a drug in its development ...

Scientists have developed a synthetic extracellular matrix (ECM) that can support the growth of a mini endometrium in a dish for at least two weeks. The endometrium - the mucosal lining of the uterus ...

New research has uncovered a complex interplay between extracellular matrix (ECM) structure and the transcriptional responses of cancer cells, showing how they alter their gene expression to ‘escape’ ...

The numerous cells that make up mammalian tissues are surrounded by an intricate network of proteins known as the extracellular matrix (ECM). Together, these proteins provide cells with a structural ...

Senescence. It’s a beautiful-sounding word whose tones suggest it should be a perfume or an essential oil. But that’s not ...

Cancer cells growing in three-dimensional (3D) space encounter unique cell-to-cell interactions, mechanical constraints, and variable access to nutrients, oxygen, and other soluble factors that can ...

A team of researchers from the University of Aberdeen has uncovered, for the first time, how genes linked to autism and intellectual disability may influence early brain development. Their work helps ...
