Scientists have created paper-like biomaterials from organs such as the ovaries, uterus, heart, liver and muscle that are thin and flexible enough to fold into origami birds and other structures.

For decades, this question has bewildered biologists. Now, by studying Placozoa, scientists at Stanford University have ...

For those who are suffering from disease or traumatic injuries, receiving an organ transplant can be the difference between life and death. But the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services reports ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

In this study, we present a method for assembling biofunctionalized paper into a multiform structured scaffold system for reliable tissue regeneration using an ...
