What causes deep vein thrombosis?
Blood pooling in venous valves is a key risk factor in deep vein thrombosis. A new model is used to better understand how this occurs.
A fresh look at the heart
The FRESH-technique for 3D printing heart models could be a game changer for budding surgeons.
Leveraging the lung’s biogenesis to repair the heart
Stem cells found in the lungs can be redirected to the heart using a new inhaled antibody therapy to help boost healing following a heart attack.
Low-cost, portable, and rapidly deployable ventilators
The procurement and maintenance of high‐end ventilators limits their use in emergency situations. By removing the “frills”, researchers create a viable alternative.
Biomaterials researchers should include sex-based differences
In a survey of biomaterials articles that included cell culture experiments, only 3.7% of studies reported the sex of the cells.
Creating better diagnostic tools with light scattering nanoparticles
Recent advanced in nanoparticle-based SERS imaging has led to better diagnoses of diseases like cancer, and improvements in image-guided tumor surgeries.
Preclinical studies demonstrate new ways to stop bleeding
A new blood-derived embolic material with regenerative properties stops bleeding instantly, even in cases of impaired coagulation.
Changing gluten intake found to have no impact on gut inflammation in healthy individuals
Understanding how gluten affects the gut is a key to understanding whether gluten-free diets are merely a fad or based in solid science.
