Basement membranes are extracellular matrices—flat sheets of protein and carbohydrate—that are essential for tissue architecture and function. But like all tissues, they are subject to damage. Until ...

These images use color markers—blue for nuclei, red for cell membranes, and green for fluid—to show that spaces between cells shrink as fluid moves out during tissue compression, from left to right ...

These fields aim to facilitate healing and restore lost function in damaged or diseased tissues and organs by integrating scaffolds, cells, and biological signaling molecules. This combination aims to ...
