Vanderbilt engineers use coffee grounds to develop novel surgical tool

Imagine plopping six cups of coffee grounds on the heads of patients just before they are wheeled into the operating room to have nose or throat surgery? In essence, that is what a team of Vanderbilt University engineers are proposing in an effort to improve the reliability of the sophisticated "GPS" system that surgeons use for these delicate operations.

Study reveals the body's systemic stem cell response to ACL injury

You might think stem cells only exist inside a fetus, but your adult body has a stockpile of stem cells, armed and ready to respond. These remarkable cells can develop into any other type of cell, like muscle or bone or nerve cells.

Findings from UCB funded study suggests that osteoporosis is being under-treated

UCB today announced results from a comprehensive real world database analysis that assessed the rates of osteoporosis treatment initiation within one year following a first fracture in patients in Sweden. The data showed that only 6.6% of patients, who were treatment naive, were initiated on osteoporosis treatment. This analysis, performed by Quantify Research and funded by UCB, was presented today at the Annual European Congress of Rheumatology (EULAR) 2017 in Madrid, Spain.
