Biomedical Engineers' 'Body-on-a-Chip' Could Reduce Cost of Developing New Drugs
A new kind of microchip can host human cells to mimic the reaction of different tissues in the body. The chip could help reduce the need for animal testing, and lower the cost of developing new ... > more -
Hematologists Boost Immune Response in Bone-Marrow Transplant Patients
To lessen the impact of chemotherapy on bone marrow cancer patients, hematologists are recruiting the patients' own immune systems to help. White blood cells are extracted before a bone marrow ... > more -
Pathologists Use Digital Imaging to Speed Up Cancer Diagnosis
A new digital microscopy system allows doctors to examine biopsy tissue and diagnose breast cancer within hours instead of weeks. The same instrument can be used for all kinds of cancers, and it ... > more -
Pediatric Cardiologists Show Hormone Therapy Reduces Cancer Treatment Side Effects
Studying childhood cancer patients who have suffered tissue and organ damage from chemotherapy treatments, researchers have found that growth hormones can reverse damage to the heart. Before the ... > more -
Surgeons Combine Heat, Chemistry to Bolster Anti-Cancer Drugs
In efforts to boost the effectiveness of anti-cancer drugs, a new method called intra-peritoneal hyperthermic chemotherapy works by flushing a heated chemotherapy drug through tissue surrounding a ... > more -
Urologists Use Optics, Chemistry to Catch Small Tumors
Some bladder cancer tumors are so small, surgeons can't see them. Urologist Edward Messing is using a new liquid dye that reacts to light to help him see all the small bladder tumors that might have ... > more -
Thoracic Surgeons Introduce Less-Invasive Cancer Removal
In a new procedure, called thorascopic lobectomy, surgeons make three small incisions in the chest and use specially designed instruments to reach the lungs. A camera helps them see the tumor and ... > more -
Orthopedic Oncologists Give Children Artificial Bones That Can Grow With Patient
A new kind of expandable bone prosthesis -- implanted in the legs of pediatric patients to substitute bone that was removed due to cancer -- is helping children avoid amputations and lead a normal ... > more -
In Hospitals, Air Ducts with Silver-Based Coating Stay Germ-Free
Preventing hospital infections -- from such stubborn bugs as Staphylococcus aureus -- could get a little easier with a new non-toxic, silver-based material. Used in coating, it helps keep hospital ... > more -
Physicist Calls for Airline Industry to Educate Workers about Radiation Levels
At the high altitudes and latitudes commercial airlines fly, crews are subjected to higher-than-normal radiation levels from the sun and cosmic rays. Physicist Robert Barish believes airline crew ... > more
