Northwestern Medicine scientists and engineers have invented a range of bioactive “tissue papers” made of materials derived from organs that are thin and flexible enough to even fold into an origami ...

This is no ordinary origami paper, it's made out of organ tissues and could eventually become a high-tech band aid. Northwestern University When Adam Jakus was a postdoc at Northwestern University he ...

Scientists are making use of discarded animal organs by turning them into origami – but it’s more than just an art project. A team of researchers at Northwestern University created the paper cranes to ...

A new tissue paper (as in, paper made from biological tissue) is so strong it can be folded into origami. Northwestern University The discovery happened, as so many discoveries do, by accident. Adam ...

Tissue engineering – the field of biomaterials research and development that combines living cells with 3D scaffolds and biologically active molecules to grow fully functional tissues – has made ...

LOWELL, Mass. - Origami - the Japanese art of folding paper into shapes and figures - dates back to the sixth century. At UMass Lowell, it is inspiring researchers as they develop a 21st century ...

One of the challenges of fighting pancreatic cancer is finding ways to penetrate the organ's dense tissue to define the margins between malignant and normal tissue. A new study uses DNA origami ...

Re-engineering force-regulating proteins inside cells to control their behavior with specific wavelengths of light. Side view of a small group of optogenetically activated cells forming a furrow ...

Scientists and engineers have invented a range of bioactive 'tissue papers' made of materials derived from organs that are thin and flexible enough to even fold into an origami bird. The new ...
