Researchers at Ohio State University have made a breakthrough discovery that may lead to a new therapy for patients who suffer from heart attacks. The study shows that blood-derived cells called monocytes can create tunnels in damaged heart tissue, which can potentially be used to grow new blood vessels.
A new study reveals that reprogrammed adult neural stem cells can differentiate into various cell types, including heart, liver, muscle, and intestine cells. This breakthrough adds to the growing evidence suggesting that adult stem cells may be more versatile than previously thought.
Researchers at Northwestern University have halted motor neuron destruction and slowed ALS progression using GDNF gene therapy in laboratory mice. The approach may one day prove effective in treating humans with ALS.
Capsule removal is crucial during breast implant removal to prevent complications such as abnormal masses on mammograms. The expert recommends removing the capsule when there's a risk of implant rupture, contraction, or infection, adding that capsulectomy should be performed in conjunction with implant removal for optimal results.
Researchers developed a non-invasive method to detect early signs of cancer and heart attacks using optical coherence tomography (OCT). OCT produces a clear picture of tissue without damaging it, allowing visualization of individual cells.
