Why the brain has 'gray matter'
By borrowing mathematical tools from theoretical physics, scientists have recently developed a theory that explains why the brain tissue of humans and other vertebrates is segregated into the familiar "gray matter" and "white matter." view more (2006-01-12)
IT and The Law - What`S The Score?
A pioneering centre dedicated to tackling the new legal challenges associated with the fast-moving world of information technology will open at the University of Bristol this summer [June 1, 2002]. This is a cross-disciplinary venture building on existing strengths in the Faculties of Law and Engineering and Computer Sciences. The new Centre will... view more... (2002-03-07)
MIT researchers probe bones' tiny building blocks
In work that could lead to more effective diagnoses and treatments of bone diseases using only a pinhead-sized sample of a patient's bone, MIT researchers report a first-of-its-kind analysis of bone's mechanical properties. view more (2007-05-25)
New engineering methods turn medical scans into plastic replicas
A method of integrating medical imaging with engineering design has been developed by a University of Sussex engineer. Dr Panos Diamantopoulos is confident that his three-dimensional patient-specific replicas, manufactured by a process known as rapid prototyping, will become invaluable tools to health professionals for diagnosis, surgical... view more...

University of Southampton Technology Partnership targets
The University of Southampton is one of the partners in a unique initiative which brings together two of the country's major aerospace companies with three leading engineering research groups. view more (1998-09-18)
Microwaves could bring concealed weapons to light
Microwaves could provide a safe new way of finding hidden weapons and buried mines, thanks to UK research. Scientists are developing a microwave-based technique that can generate high-quality images of hidden objects. The research may lead to the use of microwaves as a safer alternative to X-rays in airport security checks, building searches,... view more... (2004-03-02)
Durability of dental fillings improves if the enzyme activity of teeth is inhibited
Composite dental fillings have one problematic feature, in that the bond between the filling and the dental tissue deteriorates over time - in fact, sometimes by as much as 50 per cent in one year. As the bond deteriorates, it may allow bacteria to enter and this brings a high risk of further tooth decay. view more (2009-02-12)
Virtual biopsy could make smear tests obsolete
Standard screening techniques involve removing small pieces of tissue - a biopsy - and examining them under a microscope. "This is traumatic, time-consuming and expensive," says Smallwood, "so we wondered if we could make a non-traumatic measurement that would tell us what the cells were doing." It turns out that they can, by measuring an... view more... (1999-04-21)
Tissue rigidity promotes tumor progression
Most investigations into cancer have focused on chemical signals, but a new research study provides rare insight into how mechanical force can regulate cellular behavior. view more (2005-09-20)
How movement lubricates bone joints
Taking a cue from machines that gently flex patients' knees to help them recover faster from joint surgery, bioengineering researchers at UC San Diego have shown that sliding forces applied to cartilage surfaces prompt cells in that tissue to produce molecules that lubricate and protect joints. view more (2006-12-05)
Nanoparticles cross blood-brain barrier to enable 'brain tumor painting'
Brain cancer is among the deadliest of cancers. It's also one of the hardest to treat. view more (2009-08-04)
Using light to detect breast cancer spread - groundbreaking imaging technology
Surgeons of the future may use light to tell whether breast cancer has spread, clinical research fellow Andrew Lee told a news briefin at the 3rd European Breast Cancer Conference in Barcelona. view more (2002-03-18)
Tissue stiffness drives tumor formation
The relationship between tissue rigidity and tumor formation is fairly well established; however, what is not so well understood is what happens on a molecular level that contributes to such stiffness. view more (2005-09-23)
Students Urged To Get On Board New British Airways Course
Kingston University is offering the next generation of engineers a passport to a career carrying out aircraft safety checks. Potential students now have the chance to apply to complete Kingston's Foundation Degree in Aircraft Engineering at British Airways' Heathrow Airport base. view more (2005-03-18)
Award Winning Scottish/Russian Collaboration Extends to Kazakhstan
A ground breaking degree course, which linked Heriot-Watt University with Tomsk Polytechnic University, in Siberia, has been so successful that it is now being taken up for use in Kazakhstan. The MSc in Petroleum Engineering programme, launched in 2001, brought together Heriot-Watt University's Institute of Petroleum Engineering and Tomsk in a... view more... (2004-01-26)
Promising new nanotechnology for spinal cord injury
A spinal cord injury often leads to permanent paralysis and loss of sensation below the site of the injury because the damaged nerve fibers can't regenerate. The nerve fibers or axons have the capacity to grow again, but don't because they're blocked by scar tissue that develops around the injury. view more (2008-04-03)
Study links manic depression with brain tissue loss
People with bipolar disorder - or manic depression - suffer from an accelerated shrinking of their brain, researchers at the University of Edinburgh have found. view more (2007-07-20)
ESC Congress 2003: Human Embryonic Stem Cell Derived Cardiomyocytes: A Novel Source for Cell Therapy
IMPORTANT: This press release accompanies both a presentation and an ESC press conference given at the ESC Congress 2003. Written by the investigator himself/herself, this press release does not necessarily reflect the opinion of the European Society of Cardiology Adult heart cells have limited regenerative capacity and therefore any significant... view more...

Ultrasound may help regrow teeth
Hockey players, rejoice! A team of University of Alberta researchers has created technology to regrow teeth—the first time scientists have been able to reform human dental tissue. view more (2006-06-29)
MIT method reveals how radiation damages the body
Researchers at MIT have devised a new method for examining how radiation damages normal tissue in the body. view more (2006-03-01)
