"The lungs are particularly vulnerable to microplastic damage due to their large surface area and limited ability to clear particles, particularly smaller ones that travel deep into the lungs. Lung ...

A recent study reveals that dimethyl fumarate (DMF), a compound already approved for other inflammatory diseases, can prevent and alleviate periodontal tissue damage. The research demonstrates that ...

University of California, Los Angeles and University of California, San Diego researchers developed an injectable sealant for rapid hemostasis and tissue adhesion in soft, elastic organs. Formulated ...

Researchers have developed a scalable bioreactor-based system to produce cardiac organoids that successfully integrated into ...

A project at New York's Stony Brook University has used terahertz (THz) polarimetry to detect microscopic tissue changes associated with skin damage from burns, a method that may also be suitable for ...

An explosion does not need to strike the head to injure the brain. When a blast occurs, it generates a sudden pressure wave that can pass through the body and skull in milliseconds, potentially ...

A blast injury is physical trauma caused by the rapid pressure wave and associated fragments generated by an explosion. 1,2 The resulting blast wave compresses air within open and enclosed spaces, ...

Myocardial ischemia is a drop in blood flow to the heart. Myocardial infarction, or heart attack, occurs when death or damage occurs in the muscle tissue of the heart due to low blood supply. The ...
