They also hope to use what they learn from simple models of different tissue types to ultimately build functional human tissues like lung and kidney and neural circuits using larger - scale techniques. (sciencedaily.com)
These cells have the ability to transform themselves into many different tissue types, such as heart cells, nerve cells and blood cells. (morrisanimalfoundation.org)
Before this project was launched, no one had succeeded in connecting more than a few different tissue types on a platform. (sciencedaily.com)
