- ESF's workshop restores good name of sugar
01-17-2008 · EurekAlert!
Sugars were once credited with magical healing powers but are now seen like salt as an evil necessary in small doses but the cause of numerous diseases such as diabetes if taken in excess. Yet latest research suggests this view ignores the vital role played by more complex sugars in many biological structures, and the great therapeutic potential they have.

- Multiple low-energy plasma skin treatments may help diminish facial wrinkles
02-19-2007 · EurekAlert!
A study involving eight patients suggests that multiple low-energy treatments with a plasma skin regeneration tool may help to reduce wrinkles and improve facial appearance with minimal healing time, according to an article in the February issue of Archives of Dermatology, one of the JAMA/Archives journals. The multiple treatments have about the same effect as one high-energy session but with less healing time.

- Human embryonic stem cell -- derived bone tissue closes massive skull injury
12-02-2007 · EurekAlert!
There are mice in Baltimore whose skulls were made whole again by bone tissue grown from human embryonic stem cells. Healing critical-size defects, which would not otherwise heal on their own, in intramembraneous bone, the flat bone type that forms the skull, is a vivid demonstration of new techniques devised by researchers using hESCs for tissue regeneration.
