By combining multiphoton imaging and biaxial tissue extension a research team found that collagen in the skin is organized in a mesh-like structure, and that elastic fibers -- the connective ...

In the latest study by Prof. Dr. Leonid Ionov, Professor of Biofabrication, and his team at the University of Bayreuth, various types of hydrogels were extensively tested for the 3D printing of ...

They even found that the connective tissue know as elastic fibers were also distributed in the same way, something that was previously unobserved.
