For the culture, biopsy samples from your stomach are placed in a special culture dish. The tissue is monitored to see if bacteria, fungus, viruses, or other organisms grow.

The CUBE frame can be manipulated with forceps, allowing convenient handling of the blood-brain barrier model, with cell culturing being performed in a regular cell-culture plate.

The "Tissue-in-a-CUBE" is a small cubic structure that could provide a boost in the drug discovery field and be used as an alternative to animal models in pre-clinical studies.

In a pioneering development for the biomedical field, a research team led by Yuanjin Zhao from Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital, China, has published a research article in Engineering.

The research article also discusses the potential for further improvements to the technique, such as automating the horizontal sectioning and production of tissue cubes and scaling up the ...

Plant tissue culture (also known as micropropagation) is a method of propagating plants asexually in aseptic conditions. The four main steps of micropropagation are establishment, multiplication, ...

A research team at RIKEN in Japan has succeeded in establishing a model of the blood-brain barrier using modularized tissue derived from human cells. The “Tissue-in-a-CUBE” is a small cubic ...

2 mm cubes of lung tissue were imaged by microCT. In (A) is normal lung tissue and in (B) is IPF lung tissue. The very fine lung structure seen in the normal lung tissue is destroyed by IPF and ...
