Newswise — Mitochondria — tiny structures that convert nutrients into energy — are often depicted as discrete kidney bean-shaped objects. But in reality, they form a dynamic, interconnected network ...

During the early stages of life, organs do not just appear in their final form. They take shape through a process of controlled bending, twisting, and folding. These changes help cells organize into ...

3D printing has already transformed manufacturing, healthcare, engineering, and product development. Now, researchers are taking the concept a step further with 4D printing, a technology that allows ...

Newswise — A duo of scientists at the Indian Institute of Science developed a new laboratory model that may help explain why some breast cancers respond poorly to treatment. Triple-negative breast ...

Researchers have developed new biomaterials that can be manipulated to transform into different shapes, a 4D bio-printing achievement that also represents an advancement in tissue engineering.

Combining materials with different swelling ratios creates structures that transform into tubes when exposed to water. (Courtesy: Yu Bin Lee) Materials that controllably change shape over time – often ...

With 4D printing, the objects can change shape or properties using external stimuli such as temperature, light, pH, magnetic field, electricity, and moisture. Additionally, the changes in shape or ...

New 4D hydrogels — 3D materials that have the ability to change shape over time in response to stimuli — may lead to the development of human tissues, and even organs, that are more like their natural ...
