Researchers at Rice University and Baylor College of Medicine (BCM) have created a single nanoparticle that can be tracked in real time with MRI as it homes in on cancer cells, tags them with a fluorescent dye and kills them with heat. The all-in-one particle is one of the first examples from a growing field called "theranostics" that develops technologies physicians can use to diagnose and treat diseases in a single procedure. http://www.physorg.com/news180022136.html Nanotechnology Mon, 14 Dec 2009 14:09:22 EST news180022136 (PhysOrg.com) -- A synthetic bone matrix offers hope for babies born with craniosynostosis, a condition that causes the plates in the skull to fuse too soon. Implants replacing some of the infant`s bone with the biodegradable matrix could eliminate some of the operations currently used to treat the condition. http://www.physorg.com/news177869106.html Medicine & Health Thu, 19 Nov 2009 16:05:39 EST news177869106 (PhysOrg.com) -- In a development that could lead to more complete recovery from torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries in humans, University of Michigan researchers have grown and repaired knee ligaments in rats from bone marrow stem cells harvested from the rats' own bones. http://www.physorg.com/news176454526.html Medicine & Health Tue, 03 Nov 2009 08:00:01 EST news176454526 A wireless digital 'plaster' that can monitor vital signs continuously and remotely is being tried out with patients and healthy volunteers at Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust, in a new clinical trial run by Imperial College London researchers. http://www.physorg.com/news176396422.html Medicine & Health Mon, 02 Nov 2009 15:10:03 EST news176396422 Scientists who study RNA have faced a formidable roadblock: trying to examine RNA's movements in a living cell when they can't see the RNA. Now, a new technology has given scientists the first look ever at RNA in a live bacteria cell -a sight that could offer new information about how the molecule moves and works. http://www.physorg.com/news175434268.html Biology Thu, 22 Oct 2009 12:44:53 EST news175434268 (PhysOrg.com) -- Damaged knee joints might one day be repaired with cartilage grown from stem cells in a laboratory, based on research by Professor Kyriacos Athanasiou, chair of the UC Davis Department of Biomedical Engineering and his colleagues. http://www.physorg.com/news175278162.html Medicine & Health Tue, 20 Oct 2009 17:40:01 EST news175278162 (PhysOrg.com) -- Using an RNA-powered nanomotor, University of Cincinnati (UC) biomedical engineering researchers have successfully developed an artificial pore able to transmit nanoscale material through a membrane. http://www.physorg.com/news173367207.html Nanotechnology Mon, 28 Sep 2009 14:33:52 EST news173367207 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. http://www.physorg.com/news173365747.html Medicine & Health Mon, 28 Sep 2009 14:30:04 EST news173365747 Like oil and water, two water-based liquids can mingle without mixing in a new University of Michigan technology developed for biological experiments. http://www.physorg.com/news169826269.html Biology Tue, 18 Aug 2009 14:58:28 EST news169826269 Twenty percent of American deaths each year are caused by heart attack or angina, sometimes without any warning. http://www.physorg.com/news160059502.html Biology Mon, 27 Apr 2009 13:58:47 EST news160059502 Using the natural glue that marine mussels use to stick to rocks, and a variation on the inkjet printer, a team of researchers led by North Carolina State University has devised a new way of making medical adhesives that could replace traditional sutures and result in less scarring, faster recovery times and increased precision for exacting operations such as eye surgery. http://www.physorg.com/news156599804.html Chemistry Wed, 18 Mar 2009 12:57:14 EST news156599804 Patients on the waiting list for a heart transplant soon may have more options thanks to a new device being developed by the Texas Heart Institute in collaboration with two University of Houston professors. http://www.physorg.com/news142792001.html Medicine & Health Thu, 09 Oct 2008 17:26:41 EST news142792001 Imagine an edible optical sensor that could be placed in produce bags to detect harmful levels of bacteria and consumed right along with the veggies.
