Researchers develop hemostatic agent from mussels and silkworm cocoons to stop organ bleeding
In recent news, there has been a case where a patient experienced pain due to a surgical procedure involving sutures, resulting in the unintended presence of gauze within the patient's body. Gauze is typically employed to control bleeding during medi.....»»
Live imaging reveals key cell dynamics in 3D organ formation in Drosophila
Animal development requires successive changes in cell and tissue structures. To form complex 3D organs, cell shapes must adapt to support tissue morphogenesis. However, our understanding of how cellular structure changes are coupled with dynamic tis.....»»
Damage to cell membranes causes cell aging, finds new study
Our cells are surrounded by a fragile membrane that's only 5 nanometers thick, 1/20 of a soap bubble. Cells are easily damaged by physiological activities, including muscle contraction and tissue injury. To cope with such damage, cells are equipped w.....»»
