Bone tissue engineering (BTE) is a developing field in materials science and bioengineering, in which researchers aim to engineer an ideal, bioinspired material to promote assisted bone repair. Since experimental strategies ...
When skeletal defects are unable to heal on their own, bone tissue engineering (BTE), a developing field in orthopedics can combine materials science, tissue engineering and regenerative medicine to facilitate bone repair. ...
Cells switch fates and acquire new identities during organogenesis and regeneration as a critical trait, although the mechanisms underlying such conversions are poorly understood. The vasculature provides a biological model ...
(Medical Xpress)—Programmers typically evolve new code by copying and modifying existing code to meet new needs. With the more advanced programming languages, they also make use of something known in the business as polymorphism—the ...
(Medical Xpress)—Current therapies for cancer, wound healing, inflammation, and many other diseases – as well as protocols for drug reloading of vascular grafts and stents – often rely on so-called drug delivery depots, ...
(Medical Xpress)—In the ongoing quest to design new beneficial molecules or identify potential drugs catalogued in pharmaceutically databases, a critical requirement is determining how a ligand (typically a modulator, or ...
(Medical Xpress)—The first indication that you're sick is typically one or more symptoms: perhaps a cough, fever, abdominal pain, etc. Symptoms are high-level clinical manifestations of a disease that, at a lower level, ...
The human gut contains hundreds of different types of bacteria, which vary widely among individuals. Understanding these variations is a complex and relatively new area of research. Now in a new study, researchers have found ...
(Medical Xpress)—Light is inextricably intertwined in myriad ways with most life on Earth. In humans, for example, light stimulates alertness and cognition, improving performance and increasing wakefulness. In a recent ...
(Medical Xpress)—Precise detection of specific antibodies is fundamental in diagnosing a wide range of diseases – and testing for antibodies using known antigens is used extensively to diagnose infectious and autoimmune ...
