Government cash injection for University spin-out company's stem cell research
A spin-out company from the University of Nottingham has been awarded around £250,000 of Government funding to develop innovative stem cell therapies that could one day provide new treatments for patients suffering from illnesses including Parkinson's disease and stroke. view more (2005-01-24)
Organon, University of Twente and Delft University of Technology are jointly searching for innovative therapies to promote bone regeneration
The Dutch pharmaceutical company Organon, the University of Twente (UT) and the Delft University of Technology have jointly started a project with the goal of finding breakthroughs in our understanding of the mechanisms of bone formation. This should lead to the development of new drugs and protocols for tissue engineering. This will strengthen... view more... (2004-03-22)
Embryonic stem cells used to grow cartilage
Rice University biomedical engineers have developed a new technique for growing cartilage from human embryonic stem cells, a method that could be used to grow replacement cartilage for the surgical repair of knee, jaw, hip, and other joints. view more (2007-09-07)
Breakthrough in geomechanics research recognised by Royal Society

Rice and UT-Houston join DOD push for regenerative medicine
The Department of Defense (DOD) today announced that Rice University and the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston will spearhead the search for innovative ways to quickly grow large volumes of bone tissue for craniofacial reconstruction for soldiers wounded in Iraq and Afghanistan. view more (2008-04-18)
Bone Implant Offers Hope for Skull Deformities
A synthetic bone matrix offers hope for babies born with craniosynostosis, a condition that causes the plates in the skull to fuse too soon. view more (2009-11-20)
Innovative 'self healing' bandage to help diabetics
A revolutionary type of 'self healing' bandage that uses the patient's own cells is being developed. The technique has already been tried successfully on patients with diabetic ulcers and in the long-term could offer a more effective, quicker and cost efficient way of treating many types of slow-healing wounds such as pressure ulcers. The bandages... view more... (2004-05-24)
A step toward better brain implants using conducting polymer nanotubes
Brain implants that can more clearly record signals from surrounding neurons in rats have been created at the University of Michigan. The findings could eventually lead to more effective treatment of neurological disorders such as Parkinson's disease and paralysis. view more (2009-09-30)
Getting down to details
Dave Wilson was dissatisfied with blurry, low-sensitivity optical images of diseased tissues. So, four years ago he set out to create a better imager. view more (2009-09-29)
Loughborough researcher aims to inspire next generation of scientists and engineers
Loughborough University PhD research student Tom Waller, 25, has been selected as one of 13 new UK role models to promote science and engineering to young people as part of the NOISE (New Outlooks in Science and Engineering) campaign, funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC). As a member of the NOISE 'Be Yourself!'... view more... (2003-03-12)
Lund research on software engineering on list of world's best
Swedish Software engineering research has now been included for the first time on the list of the world's best, thanks to a research team at the Lund Institute of Technology that was started by Professor Claes Wohlin in the early 1990s (now of the Blekinge Institute of Technology) and that is now headed by Associate Professor Per Runesson. An... view more... (2003-08-21)

University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine researchers develop 'off-the-shelf' vascular grafts
University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine investigators have engineered artificial blood vessels from muscle-derived stem cells (MDSCs) and a biodegradable polymer that exhibit extensive remodeling and remain free of blockages when grafted into rats. view more (2007-06-18)
UK is still not realising its potential for science & engineering
The UK Government is neither spending enough on nor devoting enough time to science and engineering, says the Royal Academy of Engineering in its submission to the House of Commons Science & Technology Committee inquiry Are we realising our Potential? The inquiry is reviewing the 1993 White Paper Realising our Potential: a Strategy for... view more... (2000-06-27)
Scottish Engineers no Lightweights in Business
Innovation in engineering is something to encourage, recognise and celebrate, and Edinburgh-based engineering entrepreneurs, Neil Tierney and Neil Farish are heading for great things - with a little help from their friends.

Snomipede races to solve the mysteries of life
A multi-disciplinary team of scientists from the Universities of Sheffield, Nottingham, Manchester and Glasgow has been awarded a £3m research grant to develop a new nanotechnology tool which they have called the 'Snomipede'. The team, led by Professor Graham Leggett at the University of Sheffield, hopes that once developed, the Snomipede... view more... (2005-02-15)
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.
