"So far as we know, this is the first report of collective behaviors of individual cells building a self-organized biological structure using non-cellular materials--a parallel to, for example ...

Bioengineers at Harvard have developed a gel-based sponge that can be molded to any shape ... “What we’ve created is a three-dimensional structure that you could use to influence the cells in the ...

Once it cures, the foam consists of individual cells (also called pores) which have completely polymerized and solidified to form a skeletal structure. The cells can be open or closed. Open-cell ...

This material is a sponge-like "cryogel" that is made ... They report that it provided the necessary support structure for the stem cells to remain in the area for a significantly longer period ...
