Light and sound -- the way forward for better medical imaging
Detection and treatment of tumours, diseased blood vessels and other soft-tissue conditions could be significantly improved, thanks to an innovative imaging system being developed that uses both light and sound. view more (2007-12-13)
MIT works toward engineered blood vessels
MIT scientists have found a way to induce cells to form parallel tube-like structures that could one day serve as tiny engineered blood vessels. view more (2007-12-18)
Engineered Blood Vessels Function like Native Tissue
Blood vessels that have been tissue-engineered from bone marrow adult stem cells may in the future serve as a patient's own source of new blood vessels following a coronary bypass or other procedures that require vessel replacement. view more (2007-07-09)
Watching tumors melt away
All standard methods of removing tumors have side effects. Surgical excision under anesthetic leaves a wound - usually extending into adjacent healthy tissue. It also raises the risk of cancerous cells spreading via blood and lymph vessels. The X- or gamma-rays used in radiation therapy have to pass through healthy tissue to reach deeper-lying... view more... (2003-12-01)
Rapid Prototyping for the Operating Theatre
Bonn, July 5, 2002. The technique is tried and tested, and what's more: it is also fast and cost-efficient. That is why manufacturers in the automotive industry and engineering have been using Rapid Prototyping for years to produce prototypes from three-dimensional datasets. The Bonn-based caesar research center has now found new and exciting... view more... (2002-07-15)
Major improvements made in engineering heart repair patches from stem cells
