In laboratory tests, the 3D-printed human pancreatic islets functioned regularly and maintained a strong insulin response to glucose, retaining their ability to ... so that the transplanted cells ...

A team of international scientists has made a major leap forward in diabetes research by successfully 3D printing functional human islets using a novel bioink. Presented today at the ESOT Congress ...

Citrate is essential for the metabolism and development of neurons. A membrane transport protein called SLC13A5 plays a central role in this process and has previously been linked to a particularly ...

This complex system drives cephalopod mantle optics, with the cells and their internal structures regulating light transmission ... composites could perform a variety of multispectral functions, ...

They’ve discovered a previously unknown organelle – that is, a specialized structure that performs some specific function – inside human cells. The team named it the “hemifusome”, and in a paper ...

The team also found a strong reaction in fat-cell precursors called preadipocytes: sound suppressed their differentiation into mature fat cells, thereby reducing fat accumulation by 13 to 15 percent.
