New method shows it is possible to grow bone for grafts within a patient's body

An international team of biomedical engineers has demonstrated for the first time that it is possible to grow healthy new bone reliably in one part of the body and use it to repair damaged bone at a different location. The research, which is based on a dramatic departure from the current practice in tissue engineering, is described in a paper titled "In vivo engineering of organs: The bon...

Bioactive cement scaffold may improve bone grafts

A new technology for implants that may improve construction or repair of bones in the face, skull and jaw, has been developed by researchers from the American Dental Association Foundation (ADAF) and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). Described in recent and upcoming journal articles,* the new technology provides a method for making scaffolds for bone tissue. The s...

OHSU surgeon implants donated tissue allografts

Over the years, orthopedic surgeon Dennis Crawford, M.D., Ph.D., of Oregon Health & Science University found it difficult to obtain tissue for transplant to treat some of his patients suffering with severe joint disorders. "I found this unfortunate and ironic," explained Crawford, assistant professor of orthopedics and rehabilitation in the OHSU School of Medicine, and a specialist in...

University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine researchers develop 'off-the-shelf' vascular grafts

University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine investigators have engineered artificial blood vessels from muscle-derived stem cells (MDSCs) and a biodegradable polymer that exhibit extensive remodeling and remain free of blockages when grafted into rats. The results of their study, which is being presented at the Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine International Society (TERMIS) North A...

Twisted bypass grafts work better

In a new revealation, researchers have shown that twisting the graft to bypass a blockage in the blood// vessels may work better and last longer. In using a graft to bypass blockages, scientists often use plastic prosthetic tubes. Similar tubes are also used when patients with renal problems have dialysis. This is called a shunt. The problem with the usage of shunt have difficlties, as...

Drug-Eluting Stents Ensure Patency Of The Saphenous Vein Grafts

The new generation stents that are deigned for slow release of medication are found to be far more effective than conventional stents according to a recent study conducted on stents used for cardiac bypass // . It is also found to effectively prevent the overgrowth of scar tissue, thereby reducing incidence of restenosis (re-narrowing), heart attack and death. Stents can either be inser...

Fetal Neural Grafts Improves Motor and Cognitive Function in Huntington Patients

Anne-Catherine Bachoud-Lévi, M.D., and colleagues of the French national institute of health and medicine reported in The Lancet that Huntington's disease// who previously received intracerebral fetal neural grafts had improvements in both motor and cognitive function. But the same investigators reported today that the improvements in Huntington's disease patients plateaued after two y...

Improved Bone Grafts With Bioactive cement scaffold

American Dental Association Foundation (ADAF) and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have developed a new technology for implants// that will enhance the construction or repair of bones in the face, skull and jaw. The novel technology will enable a method for making scaffolds for bone tissue. The scaffold is seeded with a patient's own cells and is made from a cem...

Erectile Dysfunction After Prostate Cancer Surgery can Be Remedied With Nerve Grafts

New York – Some men who become impotent after prostate cancer surgery may find reprieve from this problem with implants of nerve grafts into the penis,// which assists in restoring the lost erectile function, according to a new report by researchers. These findings came to light after a study of nearly 44 patient records, who had undergone the said procedure to restore erectile functi...
