Artificial tissue from the test tube
The human body is held together by collagen (from the Greek kolla = glue). This group of structural proteins makes up 20-30 percent of the protein content of mammals - and can be found in skin, cartilage, tendons, ligaments, blood vessels, teeth and bones. The range of associated diseases is correspondingly wide. One example is osteoarthrosis, a... view more... (2003-12-01)
Alternative soft-touch materials for automobile interiors
CROMODURO, a Basque company in the automotive sector, is working jointly with the GAIKER Technology Centre in a research project the object of which is to develop alternative materials for the manufacture of soft-touch materials for auto interiors (armrests, headrests, and so on). To this end, GAIKER will be working on developing micropellets... view more... (2004-05-10)

Brain structure provides key to unraveling function of bizarre dinosaur crests
Paleontologists have long debated the function of the strange, bony crests on the heads of the duck-billed dinosaurs known as lambeosaurs. The structures contain incredibly long, convoluted nasal passages that loop up over the tops of their skulls. view more (2008-10-16)
Sunitinib prolongs survival in GIST patients after imatinib mesylate failure
Updated results from a Phase III trial presented at the 13th European Cancer Conference (ECCO) show that sunitinib (SU11248) prolongs both progression-free and overall survival in patients with progressive metastatic and/or unresectable GIST whose disease has failed to respond to the standard therapy-imatinib mesylate. view more (2005-11-04)
Measuring nitrate concentrations in leafy green vegetables
Leafy green vegetables such as lettuce, Asian greens, and spinach can accumulate high concentrations of nitrate-nitrogen (NO3-N), which are potentially harmful if consumed by humans. view more (2009-09-09)
Barrow study identifies new way to biopsy brain tumors in real time

TONGUE CHARACTERISTICS COULD IDENTIFY CONNECTIVE TISSUE DISORDER (p 1500)
The absence of tissue joining the tongue with the base of the mouth at birth could be a marker for the connective tissue disorder Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS), conclude authors of a research letter in this week's issue of THE LANCET. EDS is a group of inheritable connective tissue disorders, characterised by skin hyperextensibility and joint... view more... (2001-05-09)
UK researchers raise hopes of preserving fertility for women with cancer
UK fertility experts have sounded a note of cautious optimism about the safety of preserving ovarian tissue and transplanting it back into women after cancer treatment. The optimism follows research reported today (Thursday 27 September) in Human Reproduction*, Europe's leading journal of reproductive medicine. It is the first reported non-test... view more...

Researchers Reveal Soya's Effects On Breast Tissue
Eating a diet rich in soya products such as tofu can affect the make-up of breast tissue, potentially reducing the risk of breast cancer, according to a new study* from Cancer Research UK. Scientists have previously suggested that soya intake might contribute to the low rates of breast cancer in countries like China and Japan but research has... view more... (2002-07-04)
Cancer diagnosis - the Star Trek way
A small portable optical tool that can simply be pointed at the body to detect cancerous cells or reveal how body tissue is being affected by laser or cryogenic therapy could one day be the result of research being carried out by laser physicists at Imperial College. view more (2000-03-21)
