Pancreatic cancer is one of the deadliest types of cancer-;in the U.S., it is estimated that over 88 percent of people will die from the disease within five years of their diagnosis.
Osteoarthritis – a painful condition that results from the deterioration of the cartilage in our joints – affects millions of people worldwide.
The neuromuscular junction-;where nerves and muscle fibers meet-;is an essential synapse for muscle contraction and movement.
New technique can print life-like organ models in minutes NIBIB-funded engineers at the University of Buffalo have fine-tuned the use of stereolithography for 3D printing of organ models that contain live cells. The new technique is capable of printing the models 10-50 times faster than the industry standard-;in minutes instead of hours-; a major step in the quest to create 3D-printed replacement organs. Conventional 3D printing involves the meticulous addition of material to the 3D model with a small needle that produces fine detail but is extremely slow --taking six or seven hours to print ...
Drug cocktail can effectively activate and expand muscle stem cells Skeletal muscle – the type of muscle that attaches to bones and enables movement – is the most abundant tissue in the human body. This tissue has the ability to regenerate after minor injuries, a process facilitated by resident muscle stem cells that help to build new muscle fibers. However, acute muscle loss (which can happen in severe accidents), progressive muscle loss, or genetic diseases, such as muscular dystrophy, may compromise this tissue repair process. In these cases, patients can experience mobility issues and...
