MIT engineers report a new approach to creating three-dimensional samples of human tissue that could push researchers closer to their ultimate goal: tissues for therapeutic applications and ...

CAMBRIDGE, Mass.--Broken hearts could one day be mended using a novel scaffold developed by MIT researchers and colleagues. The idea is that living heart cells or stem cells seeded onto such a ...

Scaffolds used in tissue engineering must meet a complex set of requirements. They must simulate the function of the compromised tissue, provide a favorable environment for the formation of new tissue ...
