Scientists develop salivary glands from stem cells
Researchers have grown three-dimensional salivary gland tissue that produces saliva like normal glands when implanted into mice. Scientists from Showa University and the Riken Center for Biosystems Dynamics Research in Japan used embryonic stem cells, which have the ability to […]
In ability to process manganese linked to scoliosis
Researchers have linked scoliosis, a curvature of the spine, to the body’s inability to appropriately handle manganese. The study at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis found children with severe scoliosis are twice as likely to carry a […]
Biodegradable implant encourages nerve regeneration
In a recent study conducted on rats, a wireless, biodegradable implant proved to be more effective than conventional surgery. Researchers at Northwestern University and Washington University School of Medicine developed a device the size of a quarter and thickness of […]
Researches find potential cure for osteoarthritis
Researchers have found a new molecular target for the treatment of knee and spine osteoarthritis. Scientists at the Krembil Research Institute in Toronto researched rat and human tissue samples, and focused on a molecule called microRNA-181a-5p, which is believed to […]
Alpacas present a potential cure for cancer
Sometimes the answers to unsolved medical problems lie in the most unusual of places. This time, a solution to cancer has come about from the immune system of camelids. A collaborative study by the Institute for Research in Biomedicine (IRB […]
