Regenerative Collagen Scaffold Offers Better Options for Reconstruction of Soft Tissue in Surgery March 4, 2021 Breast conserving surgery, otherwise known as lumpectomy, is performed on nearly 1.3 million breast cancer patients globally, each year. Complete removal of cancerous tissue and preservation of the breast’s shape, appearance, and consistency are central to the patient’s quality of life, post-surgery. It is extremely challenging for surgeons to predict the cosmetic outcome of such ...

Comet supercomputer reveals the mechanical process of cancer growth According to the World Health Organization, one in six worldwide deaths have been attributed to cancer; however, these fatalities were not due to initial malignant tumors-;the deaths were caused by the spread of cancer cells to surrounding tissues and subsequent tumor growth. These tissues, which consist largely of collagen, have been the focus of a recent collaborative study by a team from Stanford University and Purdue Univer...

New technology may help improve tissue restoration outcomes for breast cancer and other diseases New technology from Purdue University innovators may help improve tissue restoration outcomes for people with breast cancer and other diseases or traumatic injuries. Purdue researchers, along with fellowship-trained breast surgeon Carla Fisher of Indiana University School of Medicine, teamed up with Purdue startup GeniPhys to develop and perform preclinical studies on a regenerative tissue filler. T...
