Articular cartilage, a connective tissue that protects the bone ends in joints, can degenerate due to injury, age, or arthritis, leading to significant joint pain and disability. Especially in ...

In DIP, a bubble forms beneath the liquid polymer, meaning the object is supported by the surrounding fluid. This process means complex structures can be printed in seconds, pushing the boundaries of ...

In the latter group, the aggressiveness of the disease was associated with signalling between cancer tissue and surrounding healthy connective tissue mediated by the epidermal growth factor (EGF).
