Surgeons freed a 6-year-old boy from the twisting grip of a tumor Wednesday, cutting through the growth to relax his spinal cord and give him a chance at a relatively normal boyhood. In the first half of an operation that will resume next week, doctors at Montefiore Medical Center cut into Aidan Fraser's neck to attack the tumor that had grotesquely twisted his spinal column.

Scientists See With X-rays How Bones Resist Strain Thanks To Their Nano And Micro Structure Science Daily
Scientists from Max Planck Institute (Germany) and the ESRF have just discovered the way deformation at the nanoscale takes place in a bone by studying it with the synchrotron X-rays. This study explains the enormous stability and deformability of bones. The hierarchical structure of bones makes them able to sustain large strains without breaking, despite being made of essentially rigid units at
Stretching Bone Marrow Stem Cells Pushes Them Towards Becoming Blood Vessel Science Daily
When stretched, a type of adult stem cell taken from bone marrow can be nudged towards becoming the type of tissue found in blood vessels, according to a new study by UC Berkeley bioengineers. The findings highlight the importance of mechanical forces in stem cell differentiation.
