3D-Printed Patch Helps Guide Growing Blood Vessels
Novel Method Provides Potential Treatment for Ischemia By Sara Cody Ischemia results when narrowed, hardened or blocked blood vessels starve tissue, often resulting in heart attack, stroke, gangrene and other serious conditions. Surgery can correct the problem in large vessels, but treatment is much more complex in vessels that are smaller or damaged by prior […]
What Are Quantum Dots?
Allison Dennis uses the weirdness of the quantum world to advance our understanding of breast cancer By Barbara Moran, BU Research Quantum dots glow different colors under UV light depending on their size. Dennis and her colleagues are developing dots that will respond to deep red and near-infrared light—same idea, not as pretty. What do […]
