So far, tissue engineering uses basic cells such as stem cells to repair damaged organs, while in the new study this innovative technology was used to create an organ from zero. The natural candidates for artificial uterus are women who have no uterus for genetic reasons, or because of diseas...
"Timing is everything," said study co-author Ravi Allada, a professor of neurobiology at Northwestern's Weinberg College of Arts and Sciences. "We know if you have disruption of your internal clock, it can predispose you to a range of diseases. Virtually every tissue and organ system are g...
On a side note, I was reading “Isle of Woman” by Piers Anthony, when he mentioned that breasts may have evolved the way they did in conjunction with our loss of body hair; according to Anthony, we may have run to the water for safety from predators, in which large amounts of body...
He hoped my family was OK. "Everybody's got problems," he offered, a propos of nothing. "Even the preachers. Even the preachers. I went to church this morning, and I testified. We all gotta pray. Pray, pray, pray." He then did something I'd never heard him do during any previou...
The World Health Organisation has also condemned the practice of selling human body parts, prohibiting the advertisement of organs in exchange for money, and established the principle of equality in terms of human organ donations. Human organ sales are illegal in most of the world. But, writes...
Portrait pics were taken of each eel three times (pre-migration; pre-treatment and post-treatment), and the images were scaled and aligned using ImageJ to visualize morphological changes. Eels were measured for biometrical parameters body length (BL), body weight (BW), body girth (BG), horiz...
which precisely simulate nonlinear mechanical properties of the human skin at different body sites, would be indispensable for biomechanical testing applications, such as estimating the accurate load response of skin implants and prosthetics to study the biomechanics of static and dynamic loading conditions...
Measurement of Ear Thickness and Organ Weight Ear thickness was measured with a micrometer on the day of sacrifice. The micrometer was applied near the tip of the ear just distal to the cartilaginous ridges, and the thickness was recorded in micrometers. Weights of lymph nodes and spleen ...
