Researchers from The University of Western Australia will use biomaterials to create a lifelike 3D model of human skin to better understand and treat skin stiffness associated with age, scarring and disease. If successful, in time the model could reduce the need for animal testing of skin products and enable […]

Cancer is often described as a genetic roll of the dice. A matter of bad luck. But new global estimates from the World Health Organization suggest something different: four in 10 cancer cases could be prevented worldwide. That statistic raises an obvious question: If so many cancers are preventable, what […]

Nanobodies — miniature proteins derived from camel antibodies — demonstrated powerful potential to accurately and safely deliver radioisotopes as specialized cancer treatments in a project at ORNL. The unusual antibodies were first observed in 1989 by Belgian researchers studying the immune system of camelids — animals such as camels, alpacas […]
