New computer model could lead to safer stents (PhysOrg.com) -- After suffering heart attacks, patients often receive stents designed to hold their arteries open. Some of these stents release drugs that are meant to halt tissue growth in arteries, but can have life-threatening side effects such as increasing the likelihood of blood clots and heart attacks. http://www.physorg.com/news178969480.html Medicine & Health Wed, 02 Dec 2009 10:20:01 EST news178969480 Progress Toward Artificial Tissue? (PhysOrg.com) -- For modern implants and the growth of artificial tissue and organs, it is important to generate materials with characteristics that closely emulate nature. http://www.physorg.com/news161598692.html Nanotechnology Fri, 15 May 2009 09:33:56 EST news161598692 Researchers discover target that could ease spinal muscular atrophy symptoms is no cure for spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), a genetic disorder that causes the weakening of muscles and is the leading genetic cause of infant death, but University of Missouri researchers have discovered a new therapeutic target that improves deteriorating skeletal muscle tissue caused by SMA. The new therapy enhanced muscle strength, improved gross motor skills and increased the lifespan in a SMA model. http://www.physorg.com/news150556755.html Medicine & Health Wed, 07 Jan 2009 13:19:15 EST news150556755 Scientist devises new way to more rapidly generate bone tissue Using stem cell lines not typically combined, researchers at Columbia University Medical Center have designed a new way to "grow" bone and other tissues. http://www.physorg.com/news148571674.html Medicine & Health Mon, 15 Dec 2008 13:54:34 EST news148571674
