Growing & Re-Growing Organs Soon Possible
In Toronto scientists are eagerly trying to unveil the methods to regenerate organs and tissues that have suffered from damages due to diseases or other health pathologies. Dr. Ian Rogers at the Mount Sinai Hospital is dedicated in finding ways to replace the worn-out pancreas causing Type 1 diabetes, thereby re-stabilizing the generation of insulin. [...]

Sunday, July 25, 2010
Having physician-guided robots operate patients has now become a common feature at the majority of renowned hospitals. This could possibly imply that the next generation robot could eliminate an amazing element from the hospital scenario – the doctor. Bioengineers of the Duke University carried out feasibility studies which have showed that a robot, without any [...]

Thursday, July 15, 2010
A negative particular feature of embryonic stem cells is there potential to turn into rare tumors known as teratomas. The teratomas are composed of various cells coming from diverse tissues and organs of the body. However, these tumors represent a hurdle for the progress in human embryonic stem cell therapies. Embryonic stem cell therapy is [...]
