Combining lab-grown muscle tissue with a series of flexible mechanical joints has led to the development of an artificial hand that can grip and make gestures. The breakthrough shows the way forward ...

A team of researchers at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have designed a ground-breaking material that is designed to prevent the buildup of scar tissue around implantable devices. The ...

In traditional medical diagnostics, the procedure involves taking a patient biopsy sample and then meticulous analysis, which commonly utilizes microscopy methods within a laboratory setting. While ...

In the battlefield context, timely recognition of compromised tissue perfusion (particularly in limbs subject to tourniquet use, major soft‐tissue injury or ischemia-reperfusion risk) can make the ...

The hand is a unique anatomical region where bone and soft tissue tumours present distinct diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. Bone tumours, such as enchondromas—the most frequent primary osseous ...

The two main fixation formats used by researchers are formalin fixation followed by paraffin embedding (FFPE) or snap-frozen in liquid nitrogen (referred to as Fresh Frozen or FF). There is less of a ...

Prof. Joanne Yip, Associate Dean and Professor of PolyU School of Fashion and Textiles, and her research team developed a novel anthropometric method using image recognition algorithms to ...
