In an open-source research paper, a UVA Engineering professor and her former Ph.D. student share a new, more accurate method for modeling evolutionary change.

Medical University of South Carolina researchers report in Nature Communications they have obtained 3D structural snapshots of Cdc34 in action. Cdc34 is an enzyme important for cell cycle regulation and a target for therapeutic intervention in cancer. These structures, along with studies in human cells, have revealed key features of this enzyme important for its regulation of cell growth and activity. These unique features could present opportunities for rational design of novel cancer therapeutics.

Synthetic bone substitutes are promising materials for bone defect repair, but their efficacy can be substantially improved by bioactive agents such as growth factors.

The once-rare 'fabella' bone has made a dramatic resurgence in human knees, but who's likely to have a fabella or two -- and why?

Women receive poorer heart attack treatment than men, even when rates of diagnosis are the same, according to new research funded by the British Heart Foundation (BHF) and published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology.

Faculty, graduate students, and undergraduates in Lehigh University's Department of Bioengineering are presenting 26 poster and lecture sessions at the annual meeting of the Biomedical Engineering Society (BMES), Oct. 16-19, 2019, in Philadelphia. Oral presentations include 'Spatial Organization of Biochemical Cues in 3D-Printed Scaffolds for Osteochondral Regeneration' and 'Red-light Optogenetic Pacing and Cardiac Recovery in Drosophila.' Additionally, the department will be celebrating the launch of its new B.S. program in Biocomputational Engineering.
