Blood vessels in mouse kidneys were covered with a unique polymer, which aided in preventing the recipient mouse's body immune system from rejecting the new kidneys after a transplant. Credit: Dr. Erika SirenScientists have recently found a route to decrease organ rejection after a transplant by utilizing a unique polymer to cover blood vessels...
Eardrum perforations can cause pain in addition to hearing loss and are difficult to repair. The PhonoGraft is a 3D-printed implant created by Harvard scientists that may cure harm by stimulating natural cell renewal. It is presently available for sale.The eardrum, or tympanic the membrane itself, is a thin, round segment of tissue that...
