Space travel results in many negative tissue level responses, bone loss being one well characterised effect. Microgravity research has produced a large amount of evidence on the cellular responses to microgravity.
Dendritic cells are antigen-presenting cells that are essential for the activation and proliferation of T cells. These cells can be used as a highly efficient anticancer treatment, but are extremely expensive.
Death due to haemorrhage (bleeding) is a preventable death. Yet it accounts for 30% of trauma casualty deaths in a civilian setting, while in a military setting, it accounts for 90% of casualty deaths with potentially survivable injuries.
Wound healing is a dynamic process requiring a coordinated response. Cells respond to both biochemical and biophysical cues within their microenvironment, together modulating cellular responses.
Wounds that heal without leaving a scar, and research to prevent developmental impairments in children are two crucial Australian Institute for Bioengineering and Nanotechnology (AIBN) projects that have been backed under the latest Ideas Grants funding round.
As we close the book on 2022 it is time to look at how far the AIBN has come during the year, and how we are setting ourselves up for an even bigger 2023.
Some of the world’s deadliest snakes could soon be saving lives, with research from The University of Queensland showing venom could be used to stop uncontrolled bleeding.
Death due to haemorrhage (bleeding) is a preventable death. Yet 30-40% of people in a civilian setting die as a result of bleeding to death. In a military setting 90% of casualties with potentially survivable injuries die due to haemorrhage.
