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 ...

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 ...

A special organic paper that helps repair and rebuild tissue, muscle, and organs? After a small accidental spill in the research lab, scientists developed a biologic product that may someday soon help ...

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 ...

The complex 3D shapes of brains, lungs, eyes, hands, and other vital bodily structures emerge from the way in which flat 2D sheets of cells fold during embryonic development. Now, researchers at ...

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 ...

Tissue paper discovery resulted from accidental spill in lab Bioactive paper as thin as phyllo dough made from ovary, uterus, heart, liver and muscle material New biomaterials can potentially support ...

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 ...
