The choroid plexus (ChP) is a secretory tissue found in each of the brain ventricles, the main function of which is to produce cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Although the ChP–CSF system is essential for ...

Tissue fluid pressure ensures tissue stiffness under rapid cartilage loading such as jumping, at the same time as the collagen fibril network limits tissue deformations. Under static loading such as ...

Blood is made up of plasma and solid components. Of these, the larger part is plasma, comprising about 55%. It appears as a straw-colored fluid and is composed mainly of water, but also carries ...

These images use color markers—blue for nuclei, red for cell membranes, and green for fluid—to show that spaces between cells shrink as fluid moves out during tissue compression, from left to right ...

Experts in materials science, chemical engineering and biomedical engineering have perfected a voxelated approach to bio-print 3D structures that mimic the geometry, texture and function of human ...

There is little or no evidence to show that zoonotic infections can be transmitted through exchange of body fluids. Two recent reports indicate that mother's milk and blood products can transmit West ...
