MIT researchers have developed a new bionic knee that can help people with above-the-knee amputations walk faster, climb ...

A new hybrid soft tissue model, which is mainly based on the mass-spring model (MSM) and the 3-D finite strain nonlinear anisotropic elasticity theory, is presented for visio-haptic simulations, such ...

Our purpose is to assess if bone drilling sounds could be used to automatically distinguish between hard- and soft-bone tissues. Such a capability could be of value in a variety of surgical procedures ...

Positive data from Stage 1 of the Phase IIa clinical trial (QB46C-H07) evaluating QBiotics' small molecule, tigilanol tiglate in 11 (10 evaluable) patients with advanced Soft Tissue Sarcoma (STS). An ...

Fine tuning physical cues of silk fibroin (SF) biomaterials to match specific requirements for different soft tissues would be advantageous. Here, amorphous SF nanofibers were used to fabricate ...

Abstract Soft-tissue calcifications are extremely common. Because the imaging findings are nonspecific, soft-tissue calcifications are often problematic for radiologists, sometimes prompting ...

Soft tissue sarcoma can start in muscle, blood vessels, and fibrous tissue in the leg. STS in the leg may cause a tender growing lump. Learn more here.

Chronic pain after amputation is common and can be difficult to manage with medicine. It can be debilitating, with a negative impact on quality of life. It can also stop people from moving comfortably ...

When all or part of an arm or a leg is surgically removed (limb amputation), nerves at the end of the limb are cut. This often causes residual limb pain or phantom limb pain where the removed part of ...

A key component of the TCA cycle, a series of reactions that occurs in energy-generating organelles called mitochondria, can dictate the fate of intestinal stem cells.
