Teeth whitening products containing hydrogen peroxide can damage the tissue underneath and make them weaker Researchers studied teeth whitening strips and added to damaging evidence Real teeth were exposed to the bleaching agent and the underlying layer eroded Hydrogen peroxide – also used by dentists – is not tightly regulated, experts say Hydrogen peroxide used […]
A new review of data from 12 spaceflight experiments and simulated microgravity studies has shown that microgravity does not have a negative effect on stem-like cell-dependent tissue regeneration in newts, but in some tissues regeneration is faster and more robust. This valuable in vivo data has implications for understanding and managing the ability for repair […]
Professor Sally McArthur’s bioengineering team have begun to make lifelike skin tissue to further studies on innovations such as cutting-edge smart bandages. In future, a bandage could attract and trap bacteria in its polymer mesh, trigger drug delivery in response to infection, or colour-map a wound. Humans have always been the best study subjects for […]
Teenager has her ‘ELF EARS’ sliced off after her piercings triggered an overgrowth of scar tissue Taylore had watched her ears grow for two years after getting cartilage piercings Her skin is prone to keloids, when trauma leads to overgrowth of scar tissue Dr Pimple Popper said the procedure could cause them to grow even […]
Today’s cataract surgery is often described as a marvel of modern medicine, a one-hour outpatient procedure that has spared millions from blindness, especially in developed countries. But nothing is perfect. “Modern cataract surgery is one of the most miraculous human health innovations,” said Melinda Duncan, professor of biological sciences at the University of Delaware. “It […]
With today’s technology, we can 3-D-print sculptures, mechanical parts, prosthetics, even guns and food. But a team of University of Utah biomedical engineers have developed a method to 3-D-print cells to produce human tissue such as ligaments and tendons, a process that will greatly improve a patient’s recovery.A person with a badly damaged ligament, tendon, […]
No woman’s breast tissue is the same, so MRIs detecting and monitoring cancer shouldn’t treat them all the same. Without a way to prove that a new MRI technique is safe for all women, clinical MRIs haven’t been able to keep pace with the latest advances in MRI research. More informative cancer detection is possible […]
