Sound waves guide cultured cells to form vessel-like networks within one week

With the aid of physical forces—in this case, sound—it is possible to actively steer the formation of engineered tissue. For example, sound waves can be used to create functional vascular networks with blood vessel-like structures in vitro. Scientists at the Center for Molecular

Among young adults, alcohol-induced blackout are linked to more harmful consequences

Young adults who experienced alcohol-induced blackouts (AIBs) reported more alcohol-related consequences than they did when they drank similar amounts without blacking out, according to a new study. AIBs involve a period of amnesia while the person is conscious and interacting; t

Mature eye cells turn back into stem cells after injury, mouse study finds

Researchers at Technion have uncovered a surprising natural mechanism through which the body repairs itself: Contrary to what was previously believed, mature, aged cells retain an extraordinary ability to "turn back time" and revert to active stem cells that regenerate damaged ti
