Pioneering research could make UK a world leader
Speculative research being pioneered at Northumbria University could make major medical advances in screening patients in the future. Dr David Smith from the School of Engineering and Technology is developing a microwave imaging system which would replace X-rays. The work, currently under patent, seeks to develop a technique to allow... view more... (2003-11-13)
Academy welcomes Excellence and Opportunity
The Royal Academy of Engineering welcomes the initiatives set out in today’s DTI White Paper Excellence and Opportunity – a science and innovation policy for the 21st century. The additional funds announced by the Chancellor in the Comprehensive Spending Review, though undoubtedly overdue, will do much to improve infrastructure and... view more... (2000-07-26)
Why Do Patients Choose Not To Donate Tissue?
When patients have adequate information, donating surgically removed human tissue to commercial research is not a contentious issue, finds a study in this week's BMJ. At Peterborough District Hospital, a trained nurse interviews patients before their operation and, with consent, surplus tissue is collected and supplied for commercial research.... view more...

BREAKTHROUGH ON TELOMERE SHORTENING: FIRST EVER OBSERVATION OF DIFERENTIAL RATE OF TELOMERE SHORTENING AMONG HUMAN CHROMOSOMES
Telomeres perform very important functions in maintaining genetic stability in the cells - they prevent chromosomes from joining together, they protect the ends against degradation and they play a role in ensuring correct segregation of the chromosomes during cell division - in addition, they also play a decisive role in two areas of far-reaching... view more...

New method shows it is possible to grow bone for grafts within a patient's body
An international team of biomedical engineers has demonstrated for the first time that it is possible to grow healthy new bone reliably in one part of the body and use it to repair damaged bone at a different location. view more (2005-07-26)
Imperial College London Press Invitation - The future of research into Parkinson’s disease and tissue banking
Leading scientists from across the world will join academics and researchers from Imperial College London to discuss the future of research into Parkinson’s disease and tissue banking. view more (2002-07-04)
Carnegie Mellon engineering researchers automate analysis of protein patterns
Carnegie Mellon University's Justin Y. Newberg and Robert F. Murphy have developed a software toolbox that is intended to help bioscience researchers characterize protein patterns in human tissues. view more (2008-05-13)
Next-generation biomaterials to help body heal itself
The next generation of biomaterials will help the body heal itself by prompting cells to repair their own tissues, scientists report today. Writing in a review in the journal Science, Professors Larry Hench and Julia Polak of Imperial College, London, highlight the potential of `third generation` biomaterials that activate specific cells and genes... view more...

Gene therapy appears safe to regenerate gum tissue
Scientists at the University of Michigan have developed a method of gene delivery that appears safe for regenerating tooth-supporting gum tissue-a discovery that assuages one of the biggest safety concerns surrounding gene therapy research and tissue engineering. view more (2009-04-08)
Bio-engineering of blood vessels
Blood vessel prostheses work best when the biochemical and mechanical properties match reality as much as possible and when they are made of biodegradable material. To this end tissue technologists grow natural vascular wall cells, endothelial cells, in a biodegradable tube made of collagen. According to Professor Istv'¡n Vermes tissue... view more...

MIT: Mending broken hearts with tissue engineering
Broken hearts could one day be mended using a novel scaffold developed by MIT researchers and colleagues. view more (2008-11-03)
Skin-like Tissue Developed from Human Embryonic Stem Cells
Dental and tissue engineering researchers at Tufts University School of Dental Medicine and the Sackler School of Graduate Biomedical Sciences at Tufts have harnessed the pluripotency of human embryonic stem cells (hESC) to generate complex, multilayer tissues that mimic human skin and the oral mucosa (the moist tissue that lines the inside of the... view more...

Findings advance use of adult stem cells for replacement bone
In a significant advance for regenerative medicine, researchers at Rice University have discovered a new way to culture adult stem cells from bone marrow such that the cells themselves produce a growth matrix that is rich in important biochemical growth factors. view more (2006-02-14)
Heterotopic gastric tissue simulating acute appendicitis
It is not uncommon to find tissue that normally lines the stomach in locations outside of the digestive tract. This "heterotopic" gastric tissue has been identified in such diverse locations as the scrotum, the gall bladder, and the spinal cord. view more (2008-05-21)
Dartmouth's alternative breast imaging techniques sort abnormal from normal tissue
Dartmouth physicians and engineers have published a paper with results from a five-year project testing three new imaging techniques to examine breast abnormalities, including cancer. view more (2007-06-06)
Young engineer to give water the treatment after receiving a prestigious bursary
Rita Henderson, 24, has been awarded the prestigious £7000 Sir Angus Paton Bursary from the Royal Academy of Engineering. She will be using this award to fund her MSc studies at Cranfield University in Water Pollution Control Technology. After receiving a First Class Honours degree in Environmental Chemistry at the University of Edinburgh,... view more... (2003-10-23)
IChemE President appointed Chair of EPSRC
The Science Minister, Lord Sainsbury, has appointed IChemE's current President, Professor Dame Julia Higgins FRS FREng, as the new chair of the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC). She succeeds Professor Tony Ledwith and will hold the post for a term of four years. Higgins, the first female president of IChemE, is currently... view more... (2003-04-07)
Surrey Professor Made Fellow Of Royal Academy Of Engineering
The University of Surrey is delighted to announce that Professor Maria Petrou has been made a Fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering. Maria is one of only two women, who were amongst some of Britain's brightest minds joining the UK's engineering elite at the Academy's AGM held last week where 37 new Fellows and two Foreign Members were also... view more...

Magnetic nano-'shepherds' organize cells
The power of magnetism may address a major problem facing bioengineers as they try to create new tissue -- getting human cells to not only form structures, but to stimulate the growth of blood vessels to nourish that growth. view more (2009-04-01)
Cure for cancer one step closer
The cure for cancer is one step closer this week with the first collections of cancer tissue taking place at the new Wesley Research Institute Tissue Bank. view more (2007-04-04)
