Researchers show that veins stiffen as we age

...em in Newark has now confirmed that even our veins stiffen as we age. "When you are young, your veins are nice and elastic--like rubber bands," William Farquhar, a cardiovascular physiologist in UD's College of Health Sciences, said.

Swell gel could bring relief to back pain sufferers

...s have developed tiny gel particles that swell and stiffen when injected into a damaged area. Investigations have revealed that degenerated animal intervertebral discs containing the injected 'microgels' regain their mechanical properties. This development opens up the possibility of human patients be...

Nanotechnology meets biology and DNA finds its groove

...chwartz explains, already know how to take DNA and stiffen it by removing salts from its chemical makeup. But confining the molecule and presenting it for analysis is laborious, engaging armies of lab techs worldwide to prepare DNA samples for their moment in the lab. "To get DNA molecules to do this on s...
