Contrast Agent Uses Heart's Electricity to Activate Itself
Imaging the heart for signs of disease is still quite rudimentary. While CT, ultrasound, and PET (positron-emission tomography) scanners generate impressive looking graphics, they're a long way from giving doctors a true representation of the...

Study of People with Extra Fingers Points to New Approaches for Development of Prosthetic Devices
Kids with extra fingers on their hands usually have them removed soon after birth, but some get to keep them into adulthood. This condition, known as polydactyly, is usually looked upon as a disability that has to be studied and addressed....

Patches Made of Heart Tissue Going to Clinical Trials
Stem cell therapies to heal damaged hearts have proven to be lacking so far, probably because simply injecting new cells into afflicted regions isn't enough. Researchers from Imperial College London have now created patches made of cardiac...
