Researchers at The Pennsylvania State University have developed a new synergistic approach to revascularization that combines a new framework (scaffold) made from granular hydrogels with a surgical technique called micropuncture. Their preclinical method could rapidly grow organized blood vessels in live rats.

Researchers have developed a new catheter-based device that combines two powerful optical techniques to image the dangerous plaques that can build up inside the arteries that supply blood to the heart. By providing new details about plaque, the device could help clinicians and researchers improve treatments for preventing heart attacks and strokes.

Researchers have developed sugar-coated gold nanoparticles that they used to both image and destroy biofilms. In a study, the authors demonstrated the diagnostic and therapeutic potential of the nanoparticles on the teeth and wounded skin of rats and mice, eliminating the biofilms in as little as one minute and outperforming common antimicrobials.
