Researchers have developed a way of bioprinting tissues that change shape as a result of cell-generated forces, in the same way that it happens in biological tissues during organ development.

which are the cause of radiation induced tissue damage. A recent double-blind scintigraphic study examined the effect of amifostine on salivary gland function in 25 patients after amifostine ...

Exposure to blue light is detected by the eyes and signals the pineal gland to suppress the secretion of the hormone melatonin. Melatonin is a sleep hormone that helps to regulate your circadian ...

Many non-mammalian vertebrates like fish, however, are known to detect color and brightness with the pineal gland, which is part of the brain. An Osaka Metropolitan University research group has ...
