New modular, spring-like devices maximize the work of live muscle fibers so they can be harnessed to power biohybrid bots.

Researchers designed an ultrathin pacemaker that can be implanted via minimally invasive techniques, potentially improving recovery time and reducing the risk of complications.

The sticky, wearable sensor could help identify early signs of acute liver failure.

The realistic model could aid the development of better heart implants and shed light on understudied heart disorders.

Core-shell structures made of hydrogel could enable more efficient uptake in the body.

Researchers successfully treated diabetes in mice by engineering cells to make insulin in response to the music of Queen.

Thirteen new graduate student fellows will pursue exciting new paths of knowledge and discovery.

Actuating grafts appears to turn on cell signals related to the growth of new blood vessels and nerves; a promising finding for restoring mobility in muscle lost through disease or trauma.

The fibers could help with testing treatments for nerve-related pain.

You can squash small bugs by stepping on them, but can you crush even tinier microorganisms like viruses and bacteria? It turns out that you’d need to apply a lot of pressure.
