Researchers grow stem cells from human skin
Researchers at Wake Forest University School of Medicine have successfully isolated stem cells from human skin, expanded them in the laboratory and coaxed them into becoming fat, muscle and bone cells. The study, one of the first studies to show the ability of a single adult stem cell to become multiple tissue types, is reported today in Stem... view more... (2005-06-23)
Stem cell breakthrough gives new hope to sufferers of muscle-wasting diseases
An experimental procedure that dramatically strengthens stem cells' ability to regenerate damaged tissue could offer new hope to sufferers of muscle-wasting diseases such as myopathy and muscular dystrophy, according to researchers from the University of New South Wales (UNSW). view more (2009-03-05)
NYU researchers create method to precisely glue particles together on the micro- and nano-scale

Research promising for cystic fibrosis
New U of T research holds promise for developing innovative therapies against cystic fibrosis and may also serve as a model for future therapies against the HIV virus. view more (2008-03-19)
Brain surgery, new light-emitting materials and medical imaging - all are covered in the December issue of Opto and Laser Europe
LASERS ON THE BRAIN A new, minimally-invasive tool that can completely remove a brain tumour through a small hole in the skull has been delivered to surgeons in Germany. Conventional techniques use lasers to destroy brain tumours by thermal effects. This can destroy healthy tissue, and increases the risk of toxic side effects because it does not... view more...

Study documents outbreak of fungal eye infections among contact lens wearers in Singapore
Researchers in Singapore have reported an outbreak of Fusarium keratitis (a fungal infection of the cornea) associated with soft contact lens wear and linked with use of certain contact lens cleaning solutions. view more (2006-06-28)
A new theoretical model of tumor growth and metastasis based on differences in tissue pressure
The HFSP Journal, the interdisciplinary journal for scientists conducting high quality, innovative research at the interface between biology and the physical sciences is pleased to announce that the latest article modelling of tumor growth and metastasis. view more (2009-03-24)
Biomedical Engineering Study Demonstrates the Healing Value of Magnets
Magnets have been touted for their healing properties since ancient Greece. Magnetic therapy is still widely used today as an alternative method for treating a number of conditions, from arthritis to depression, but there hasn't been scientific proof that magnets can heal. view more (2008-01-04)
Ben-Gurion U. researchers identify how stressed fat tissue malfunctions
Ben-Gurion University of the Negev (BGU) researchers, in a collaboration with colleagues from the University of Leipzig, Germany, have identified a signaling pathway that is operational in intra-abdominal fat, the fat depot that is most strongly tied to obesity-related morbidity. view more (2009-07-15)
Turmeric extract suppresses fat tissue growth in rodent models
Curcumin, the major polyphenol found in turmeric, appears to reduce weight gain in mice and suppress the growth of fat tissue in mice and cell models. view more (2009-05-19)
Saving teeth by using periodontal ligament regeneration
Teeth may fall out as a result of inflammation and subsequent destruction of the tissues supporting the teeth. Dutch researcher Agnes Berendsen has investigated a possible solution to this problem. view more (2008-06-05)

Cancer could return unless stored ovarian tissue undergoes adequate testing before re-implantation
Cancer patients who have been successfully treated for their disease face the prospect of its return if stored ovarian (or testicular) tissue is transplanted back into their bodies without adequate checks, according to researchers at two university hospitals in Israel. view more (2008-04-22)
Researchers discover gut tissue to be a major reservoir harboring HIV
UCLA researchers have found the human gut to be a major reservoir harboring the HIV virus - holding almost twice as much as a person's blood. view more (2006-08-28)
Hazards of using crib bumper pads outweigh their benefits
Although bumper pads are theoretically designed to prevent injury to a baby while in the crib or bassinet, the risk of accidental death or injury to an infant from using them outweighs their possible benefits, according to a new study by pediatric researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. view more (2007-09-19)
Certain tonsil removal technique associated with reduced postoperative pain, bleeding
Patients who have a tonsillectomy using an "intracapsular" technique-which removes at least 90 percent of tonsil tissue, but spares the tonsil capsule-appear to have less postoperative heavy bleeding and pain compared with those who undergo traditional tonsil removal surgery. view more (2007-09-18)
