Those of us who are concerned with the environment do not isolate that concern to the United States because we know this is a worldwide concern. Animals, birds and insects are as important to us as are the plants, shrubs and trees that provide habitat for these creatures Continue reading →

On Valentines Day, BioSpace would be remiss not to mention, er, matters of the heart. There are reportedly 59 life sciences companies or organizations worldwide that focus on the cardiovascular system, ranging from the Aab Cardiovascular Research Institute based in West Henrietta, New York to XyloCor Therapeutics, headquartered in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. That number is probably low Continue reading →

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the second leading cause of death for women, aged between 45 and 54 years in North America. The risk of heart disease increases with age in both genders. However, in women, this risk is accelerated after menopause, suggesting that the transition through menopause may be associated with the increased risk of heart disease. Continue reading →

3D printing technology continues to push the boundaries and its always useful to know where the next level of innovation is taking place. Matthew Jefferies, Marks & Clerk, outlines how engineers have 3D-printed skin with integrated blood vessels to improve integration with native vasculature. Researchers at the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in New York have developed an innovative method of 3D printing vascularized artificial skin for grafting onto patients.The result is artificial skin containing vasculature (blood vessels) that greatly assists in the integration of the skin with the host.This allows transfer of blood and nutrients between the host and the graft to keep the graft alive.

A new team at Medical College of Georgia is taking aim at defective gene sequences that cause disease using the revolutionary CRISPR method that allows precise editing of specific sequences to create animal models of those diseases. Drs. Lin Gan and Joseph Miano sit at a conference table outside their new lab at Augusta University, and in the blink of an eye the discussion goes from how they began using a certain technology in its early days of 2013 to how they are applying the latest iteration that came out only last month Continue reading →

From veins that deliver oxygen to tissues to xylem that send water into stems and leaves, vascular networks are a crucial component of life. In biology, there is a wide range of unique patterns, like the individualized structures found on leaves, along with many conserved structures, such as named arteries and veins in the human body.
