Regenerative medicine describes a relatively new avenue of biomedical and clinical research, involving the discovery of novel techniques to restore lost tissue function in the human body. Core Dynamics, an Israeli-based company, for example, has developed a novel way to freeze-dry and rehydrate cells. Formation of ice crystals during the... Read More

Recently, in several articles here on Patexia, we have commented on the importance of nanotechnology in medicine, including everything from lamprey robots to micro-surgeries. There is even a novel biomedical sensor that runs on rap music. As futuristic as this technology is, it is pointless without a purpose. Having robots... Read More

Due to its deadly nature and near invulnerability, the fear of anthrax being used in a terrorist attack is quite high; however, scientists have developed a new, simple procedure to chlorinate silk, giving the fabric strong antimicrobial effects. Chlorinated silk can kill anthrax spores within minutes.  This technology has definite... Read More
