Unlike lab-grown cells, which are nurtured in a watery solution, cancer cells in real life encounter resistance as they move through bodily fluids. Previous studies have shown how, counterintuitively, ...

As a fetus develops, its body is bathed in amniotic fluid: a warm, salty soup of nutrients, hormones, and antibodies produced by its mother. And into that fluid, a fetus is constantly sloughing ...

MIT engineers found that fluid between cells plays a major role in how tissues respond when squeezed, pressed, or physically deformed, potentially influencing how they adapt to conditions such as ...

Powering medical implants can be tricky, but tapping into the body’s own fuel source could keep them going long-term. A new design for a tiny fuel cell converts glucose into electricity to power ...

Mar. 19, 2025 — The cells that make up the walls of the finest of all lymphatic vessels have a lobate, oak leaf-like shape that makes them particularly resilient to changes in fluid volume. A ...

For scientists, because these amniotic fluid cells present as a potentially untapped resource of still-developing fetal cells from which to make organoids, there have been talks of, but so far, no ...

“A kidney cell might be exposed to different patterns of salts, fluids, nutrients; based on those patterns, it might change how it acts in the future.

Ultrathin fuel cell uses the body’s own sugar to generate electricity ... where they combine with air to form molecules of water — a harmless byproduct that flows away with the body’s fluid.
