Diagnosing Heartburn
Gastroenterologists are
using confocal laser
endomicroscopy (CLE) to more
effectively diagnose chronic
heartburn. The technology
gives doctors an image of
the esophagus that is
magnified 1,000 times. A

Next Generation Of Heart Stents
Interventional cardiologists
used magnetic particles to
accelerate the process of
healing after the placement
of a stent. To do this, they
extract cells from the
interior of a patient's

Cavity Fighting Candy
Oral biologists formulated a
mint that fights cavities
with an ingredient called
Cavistat. Cavistat contains
two main components that
protect the teeth. First,
the amino acid arginine
