Researchers at Michigan Medicine found that people with venom allergies are much more likely to suffer mastocytosis, a bone marrow disorder that causes higher risk of fatal reactions. The team of allergists examined approximately 27 million United States patients through an insurance database – easily becoming the nation's largest study of allergies to bee and […]
Scientists have developed a new biomaterial that regrows blood vessels and bone, potentially providing a single-stage approach when repairing large bone defects. The study, led by researchers from RCSI University of Medicine and Health Sciences and SFI AMBER Centre, is published in the Journal of Controlled Release.

TARM1 is a receptor protein whose role in the functioning of the immune system is unknown. In a new study, scientists from Japan have explored the potential role of TARM1 in the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis by analyzing mouse models. They found that TARM1 activated dendritic cells, and development of collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) was notably […]
Results of a clinical trial released in Stem Cells Translational Medicine provide evidence that treating patients with an injection of bone marrow cells may lead to a reduction in brain injury after a stroke. The study was conducted by Muhammad E. Haque, Ph.D., Sean I. Savitz, M.D., and colleagues from the Institute for Stroke and […]
Pelvic floor muscles stretch from the tailbone to the pubic bone and are used to support the bowel, bladder, uterus and vagina. Weak pelvic floor refers to when these muscles are not as strong as they should be, resulting in several consequences such as urinary or bowel incontinence. Women are much more susceptible to weak […]
Oral and maxillofacial pathology is a branch of dental science concerned with diseases, injuries, abnormalities and cancers of the mouth, jaws and face. Oro and maxillofacial (OMF) surgeries are procedures performed in the treatment of these disorders and diseases. The OMF speciality has been recognized by several organizations and professional associations including the American Dental […]
