Barrow study identifies new way to biopsy brain tumors in real time
A new miniature, hand-held microscope may allow more precise removal of brain tumors and an easier recognition of tumor locations during surgery. view more (2009-11-12)
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)
New research could help us deliver genes for new bone formation
UK scientists are working on new methods to regenerate cartilage and bone by delivering genes to stem cells within the body to instruct them to turn into bone cells. view more (2005-09-29)
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...

Bioengineers develop a microfabricated device to measure cellular forces during tissue development
A University of Pennsylvania-collaboration of bioengineers studying the physical forces generated by individual cells has created a tiny micron-sized device that allows researchers to measure and manipulate cellular forces as assemblies of living cells reorganize themselves into tissues. view more (2009-06-23)
Adult brain neurons can remodel connections
Overturning a century of prevailing thought, scientists are finding that neurons in the adult brain can remodel their connections. view more (2008-11-25)
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)
AlphaGalileo receives major grant from the EC
The EC has awarded 787,000 euros over two years to AlphaGalileo Europe. This will place the service in a truly unique position to promote European science, engineering and technology. The award has been made to The BA and its partners, Forschungzentrum Jülich GmbH, The Academy of Finland, Association Fran'§aise pour L'Avancement des... view more... (2001-05-22)
Cells from amniotic fluid used to tissue-engineer a new trachea
Researchers at Children's Hospital Boston report using tissue engineering to reconstruct defective tracheas (windpipes) in fetal lambs, first using cells from the amniotic fluid to grow sections of cartilage tube, and then implanting these living grafts into the lambs while still in the womb. view more (2005-10-10)
New Tissueflex System Makes Artificial Liver Cell Cultivation an Attractive and Viable Option
The drug development process from the discovery of an optimised lead then on to market is typically a seven to ten year process. It is well known to be an expensive process with a high risk of failure as recent high profile cases have shown. But even after extensive clinical trials new drugs can prove to be ineffective or at worst dangerous to... view more... (2004-11-19)
ORNL advances therapy for Parkinson's, other diseases
By miniaturizing a device that monitors the delivery of healthy cells, researchers at Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory are developing a powerful instrument for physicians to use in treating patients with Parkinson's syndrome, brain tumors and other diseases. view more (2009-07-23)
Genetic engineering of plants: nature was first
Queen Mary and Westfield College scientists studying resistance to infection in plants have discovered by chance that a natural form of genetic engineering has already brought foreign genes into their genetic make-up. view more (1998-09-01)
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)
Genetic Engineering & Biotechnology News reports on advances in miRNA
miRNA research is now one of the most interesting areas in the life science world, reports Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology News (GEN). view more (2008-03-03)
Manchester scientists create new bio-gel for 3D cell culture
Scientists at The University of Manchester have created a new type of 'bio-gel' which provides a pH neutral environment for culturing cells in 3D, as published in the journal Advanced Materials (March 2006). view more (2006-03-06)
Protein linked to change in tissue that surround and support breast tumors
A protein known to be overly active in breast cancer can exist in a form that seems to change the structural composition of mammary tissue, potentially making it more conducive to tumor progression, say researchers from the Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center at Georgetown University Medical Center (GUMC). view more (2009-06-15)
Fly with brain tumor may shed light on cancer causing genes
A study showing how the expression of genes changes when the brain tissue of fruit flies becomes cancerous is published this week in BMC Genomics. As the function of many of these genes is conserved across evolution, the researchers expect their results will help us to understand why human brain tumors develop. The causes of brain tumor... view more... (2004-04-14)
Mechanism Behind Stuttering Revealed (p 380)
Stuttering is caused by a structural abnormality in the left hemisphere of the brain, according to an article in this week's LANCET. Dr Martin Sommer and colleagues from the Universities of Hamburg and Göttingen in Germany report that persistent developmental stuttering results from a disconnection of speech-related areas in the cortex.... view more...
