One of the greatest hopes in the medical research community is that tissues will one day be grown and implanted into the human body to replace aging or defective tissues and organs. Now researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory have developed a novel approach to build self-assembling microtissues by coating cells in complementary DNA.  The new approach is a bottom-up method, which should allow for greater tissue complexity.
