Stem cells can repair torn tendons or ligaments
Weekend athletes who overexert themselves running or playing basketball may one day reap the benefits of research at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem that shows that adult stem cells can be used to make new tendon or ligament tissue. view more (2006-04-04)
New chemical imaging technique could help in the fight against atherosclerosis, suggests research
A new chemical imaging technique could one day help in the fight against atherosclerosis, suggests research published in the August 2009 edition of the Journal of the Royal Society Interface. view more (2009-07-31)
New treatment for age-related macular degeneration within sight
With 8 million people at high risk for advanced age-related macular degeneration, researchers from Harvard and Japan discovered that the experimental drug, endostatin, may be the cure. view more (2007-11-30)
Technology uses live cells to detect food-borne pathogens, toxins
Researchers have developed a new technology that can simultaneously screen thousands of samples of food or water for several dangerous food-borne pathogens in one to two hours. view more (2008-03-03)
Model identifies genes that induce normal skin cells to become abnormal
Northwestern University researchers have developed a novel, three-dimensional model that allows scientists to observe how interacting with the microenvironment of metastatic melanoma cells induces normal skin cells to become similar to aggressive cancer cells that migrate and spread throughout the body. view more (2005-11-15)
A little magic provides an atomic-level look at bone
A new study using solid-state NMR spectroscopy to analyze intact bone paves the way for atomic-level explorations of how disease and aging affect bone. view more (2009-12-03)
Study helps explain origins of cardiac fibrosis in patients with heart disease
A report led by researchers at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC) helps explain the origins of cardiac fibrosis, a stiffening of the heart muscle that leads to a variety of cardiac diseases, most notably heart failure. view more (2007-07-30)
When threatened, a few African frogs can morph toes into claws
Biologists at Harvard University have determined that some African frogs carry concealed weapons: When threatened, these species puncture their own skin with sharp bones in their toes, using the bones as claws capable of wounding predators. view more (2008-06-24)
From sow’s ear to new skin – new treatments for old wounds
Sterilised, cell-free pigskin* is just one of the products being developed by scientists to help the body recover from injury or disease without scarring or forming chronic, non-healing wounds. The material helps the natural healing process by acting as a matrix over which skin cells are encouraged to grow, says Dr Ian Kill from Brunel University... view more... (2001-08-30)
Cigarette smoking impedes tendon-to-bone healing
Orthopaedic surgery researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have identified yet another reason not to smoke. view more (2006-10-19)
Penn researchers engineer first system of human nerve-cell tissue
Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine have demonstrated that living human nerve cells can be engineered into a network that could one day be used for transplants to repair damaged to the nervous system. They report their findings in the February issue of the Journal of Neurosurgery. view more (2008-02-27)
Scientists identify novel way to prevent cardiac fibrosis
In a study that points to a new strategy for preventing or possibly reversing fibrosis - the scarring that can lead to organ and tissue damage - researchers at the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine have determined that a molecule called Epac (Exchange protein activated by cAMP1), plays a key role in integrating the body's pro-... view more...

New evidence — Clovis people not first to populate North America
The belief that the Clovis People were the first to populate North America some 11,500 years ago has been widely challenged in recent years, and a Texas A&M University anthropologist has found evidence he says could be the final nail in the coffin for the Clovis first model. view more (2007-02-23)
A rare case of collagenous colitis presenting as protein-losing enteropathy
Since the first report in 1976, collagenous colitis has been associated with a variety of conditions, including use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and proton pump inhibitors. view more (2008-11-03)
Robot improves suture proficiency more rapidly for surgeons inexperienced in laparoscopic techniques
New research published in the April issue of the Journal of the American College of Surgeons suggests that, among surgeons inexperienced in laparoscopic techniques, closing incisions using robotic-assisted laparoscopic surgery (RALS) requires less time to learn and results in improved outcomes compared with suturing done via traditional,... view more...

Getting ACL tears to heal themselves
A surgeon at Children's Hospital Boston may have found a better way to repair tears to the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), a knee injury suffered by more than 100,000 Americans each year, particularly teenage girls. view more (2006-03-29)
U-M scientists target key cells and signals that trigger pulmonary fibrosis
Scientists at the University of Michigan Medical School have identified biochemical signals that attract pathogenic cells to damaged lung tissue - one of the first steps in a chain of events leading to a lethal disease called idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis or IPF. view more (2006-05-24)
New links in the cystic fibrosis chain uncover potential therapeutics
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is an inherited disease caused by mutations in the CFTR gene. Each mutation has number of effects on the cells of the lungs. view more (2007-10-19)
Enzyme's newly discovered role may make it target for arthritis treatment
Scientists have found a new role for a previously identified enzyme that may make it a target for anti-inflammatory treatments. view more (2005-06-27)
First direct evidence of substantial fish consumption by early modern humans in China
Freshwater fish are an important part of the diet of many peoples around the world, but it has been unclear when fish became an important part of the year-round diet for early humans. view more (2009-07-07)
