Better Risk Management Could Cut MRSA Infection Rates

...the insurer, the NHS Litigation Authority (NHSLA), overcomes this problem by outlining strict risk management standards. The standards are increasingly demanding and — if they can demonstrate compliance with them — hospitals are granted increasing discounts on the premiums they pay the NHSLA for their cover. ...

Limb Regeneration Exists Innately In All Vertebrates – Says Researc

...f the powerful Wnt signaling system: Activating it overcomes the mysterious barrier to regeneration in animals like chicks that can't normally replace missing limbs while inactivating it in animals known to be able to regenerate their limbs (frogs, zebrafish, and salamanders) shuts down their ability to replac...

Rescuing Injured Hearts by Enhancing Regeneration

...ng. Working with rats, they combined an agent that overcomes a natural inhibitor of cell division with a naturally occurring growth factor that encourages blood vessel growth (angiogenesis). Together, these two agents enabled heart-muscle cells to multiply and the heart to regain its function after a simulated...

ABCB6 Is Key to Production of Heme in Hemoglobin

...shing each other apart. Our work showed that ABCB6 overcomes that problem by simply grabbing porphyrin molecules and pulling them in. 'We showed that there is a dynamic relationship between ABCB6 and the levels of heme and porphyrin that helps to regulate the production of heme,' Schuetz said. The team found...

Camera gives hope for detection of breast cancer

...m has designed a new, breast specific, camera that overcomes these limitations.
