Mice could provide the key to growing human lungs for transplant
Scientists from Imperial College London have successfully directed mouse stem cells to turn into the type of cells needed for gas exchange in lungs, bringing the prospect of being able to regenerate damaged lung tissue, and even the creation of artificially grown lungs one step closer. Dr Anne Bishop, from Imperial College Tissue Engineering and... view more... (2002-05-15)
Nanocomposite labeled cancer cells can be targeted and destroyed using lasers
A nanocomposite particle can be constructed so that it has a mix of properties that would not otherwise happen in nature. By combining an organic matrix with metallic clusters that can absorb light, it is possible to incorporate such particles into cells and then destroy those targeted cells with a laser. view more (2007-05-21)
Bone marrow hope for heart sufferers
New hope for sufferers of heart disease is possible, after research led by a University of Leicester surgeon indicates that bone marrow cells injected into a heart can help repair damage from a heart attack. view more (2002-11-27)
Terahertz imaging may reduce breast cancer surgeries
A promising new technique to ensure complete tumor removal at breast cancer excision is introduced in the May issue of Radiology. view more (2006-04-26)
Tissue engineering on a mission to Japan
The Royal Academy of Engineering is sponsoring a UK technology mission to Japan on behalf of the DTI to investigate recent developments in tissue engineering and related advanced technologies. The Mission team, comprising a number of high-level experts, will visit Japan from 7 to 12 April. Tissue engineering is one of the most exciting, but... view more... (2003-03-28)
Type of connection procedure after pancreatic surgery influenced rate of pancreatic fistula
After surgery to remove the head of the pancreas, invagination of the pancreas into the small intestine resulted in a lower rate of pancreatic fistula. view more (2009-05-01)
Mayo Clinic study shows drug could effectively treat, prevent the spread of breast cancer
A Mayo Clinic study of a drug that has shown promise in treating sarcoma, lung and brain cancers, demonstrates that the drug may also be effective in treating breast cancer, in particular the spread of breast cancer. view more (2007-11-01)
Dental stem cells have been characterized for tooth tissue engineering
Today, during the 84th General Session of the International Association for Dental Research, a team from The Forsyth Institute (Boston, MA, USA) will report that their research has demonstrated that mixed populations of cultured post-natal tooth bud cells can be used to generate bioengineered dental tissues. view more (2006-06-29)
European Satellites Probe a New Magnetar
On Aug. 22, 2008, NASA's Swift satellite reported multiple blasts of radiation from a rare object known as a soft gamma repeater, or SGR. view more (2009-06-17)
Uncovering the secrets of ulcer-causing bacteria
A team of researchers from Boston University, Harvard Medical School and Massachusetts Institute of Technology recently made a discovery that changes a long held paradigm about how bacteria move through soft gels. view more (2009-08-13)

Social skills, extracurricular activities in high school pay off later in life
It turns out that being voted "Most likely to succeed" in high school might actually be a good predictor of one's financial and educational success later in life. view more (2009-03-26)
St. Joseph's provides tissue processing services to researchers in hopes of finding a cure
A special research program at St. Joseph's Hospital and Medical Center is providing a safe and vital research component to scientists in hopes of finding new treatments and cures for a variety of disorders. view more (2006-11-08)
University of Saskatchewan and Canadian Synchrotron researchers shed light on esophageal disease
Canadian Light Source (CLS) staff scientist Luca Quaroni and Dr. Alan Casson, Head of the Department of Surgery at the University of Saskatchewan (U of S) used the synchrotron's infrared microscope to identify tissue afflicted with a condition known as Barrett's Esophagus from chemical fingerprints associated with the disease, which can lead to... view more...

Can EUS elastography help distinguish benign from malignant tissue?
A major limitation of endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) examination is its limited capacity to determine the exact nature of a lesion. view more (2009-04-15)
Fluorescent cancer cells to guide brain surgeons
Gliomas are malignant brain tumors that arise from glial (supporting) cells of the brain. Gliomas are often resistant to chemotherapy. view more (2009-04-06)
Interventional radiology: Zapping uterine fibroids with heat from high-energy sound waves
There's a new interventional radiology tool showing promise in the treatment of uterine fibroids: magnetic resonance-guided focused ultrasound (MRgFUS), a minimally invasive treatment that uses high-energy ultrasound waves to generate heat at a specific point to destroy uterine fibroid tissue and relieve symptoms. view more (2010-03-15)
Early detection of Alzheimer's disease a possibility
Research investigating concentrations of magnetite, a magnetic form of iron, in Alzheimer's disease tissue has produced preliminary results that suggest the possibility of developing a technique to detect Alzheimer's disease before clinical symptoms appear. The research*, published in Biology Letters, an online supplement to the Royal Society's... view more... (2003-04-07)
Scientists find that squid beak is both hard and soft, a material that engineers want to copy
How did nature make the squid's beak super hard and sharp -- allowing it, without harm to its soft body -- to capture its prey? view more (2008-03-28)
Why the brain has 'gray matter'
By borrowing mathematical tools from theoretical physics, scientists have recently developed a theory that explains why the brain tissue of humans and other vertebrates is segregated into the familiar "gray matter" and "white matter." view more (2006-01-12)
