As the consequence of complex interactions between different parts of an organ, shape can be used as a predictor of structural–functional relationships implicated in changing environments. Despite ...

Shape modeling is the study of the construction and analysis of digital representations of shape. A shape model is used as a surrogate for the actual object in areas such as biomedical modeling, ...

A custom ergonomic armor suit begins with a body-first design workflow using a smartphone scan, Blender modeling, 3D printing ...

Scientists are pioneering a powerful combination of computer modelling and experimental genetics to work out how the complex shapes of organs found in nature are produced by the interacting actions of ...

It's tricky to make an exact copy of yourself. Or at least it is for cells undergoing mitosis, where cells replicate everything inside of them, including their neatly packaged DNA, then split in half.

A team of researchers at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) has applied relatively simple tissue modeling and cell patterning techniques to generate highly precise 3D shapes, including ...
