Medical Xpress / Preclinical study finds novel bone cancer therapy has 99% success rate
Bioactive glasses, a filling material which can bond to tissue and improve the strength of bones and teeth, has been combined with gallium to create a potential treatment for bone cancer.
Medical Xpress / New approach moves cell therapy closer to treating many disorders
A new approach to manufacturing cells that secrete and deliver therapies to specific parts of the body has taken a big step toward one day repairing joints and damage after heart attacks, countering transplant rejection and ...
Phys.org / 3D bioprinting materials offer possibility for better bone and soft tissue repair
3D bioprinting is an advanced tissue engineering technique that builds complex tissues using bioactive substances like living cells and scaffolds. It provides personalized tissue repair solutions, reducing immune rejection ...
Medical Xpress / Blood stem cell research could transform bone marrow transplants
Melbourne researchers have made a world first breakthrough in creating blood stem cells that closely resemble those in the human body. And the discovery could soon lead to personalized treatments for children with leukemia ...
Medical Xpress / Medical imaging breakthroughs aim to bring the invisible to light
Medical imaging technology—such as MRI, ultrasound and X-ray—is gaining in power and precision, especially in the wake of recent breakthroughs in artificial intelligence. Several EPFL research groups are contributing ...
Medical Xpress / Building new bones with help from 3D printing
A research team from the University of Waterloo has developed a new material that shares many of the same traits as bone tissue. Using it in 3D printers provides a new and innovative treatment option for patients undergoing ...
Phys.org / Squid have tiny teeth in their suckers—scientists could use unique properties to make self-healing materials
When you think of a fearsome, sharp-toothed predator, a squid probably isn't the first animal that comes to mind. But these complex creatures have sophisticated eyesight, a strong beak to crush shells and agile tentacles ...
Medical Xpress / Bioengineers develop hybrid grafts to combat cardiovascular disease
Researchers from AMBER and Trinity, led by Dr. David Hoey, have successfully replicated the behavior of a blood vessel and its guiding structure to regenerate damaged tissue.
Medical Xpress / Dissolvable microneedle patch enables periodontal tissue regeneration
Periodontitis is initiated by dysbiosis of the oral microbiome. Pathogenic bacteria elicit ineffective immune responses, which damage surrounding tissues and lead to chronic inflammation. Although current treatments typically ...
Medical Xpress / What your nails can tell you about your health
When I was a medical student, nails were one part of my anatomy course that I really struggled with. I found it difficult, at first, to stomach the sight of painful nail injuries.
Medical Xpress / New alloy shown to produce better human joint implants
Stiffness, pain and infections in orthopedic surgery is being tackled by Flinders University researchers driving innovation in alloy materials to produce safe and superior implants compatible with human tissue.
Medical Xpress / New biomaterial regrows damaged cartilage in joints
Northwestern University scientists have developed a new bioactive material that successfully regenerated high-quality cartilage in the knee joints of a large-animal model.
