What is Conservation Biology?01:57

What is Conservation Biology?

24.4K
Conservation biology is a scientific field that focuses on the preservation of biodiversity in order to protect ecosystems while meeting the needs of the human population. Humans require properly functioning ecosystems to maintain our supply of natural resources, including food, medicines, and building materials.

Biological Effects of Radiation02:59

Biological Effects of Radiation

18.0K
All radioactive nuclides emit high-energy particles or electromagnetic waves. When this radiation encounters living cells, it can cause heating, break chemical bonds, or ionize molecules. The most serious biological damage results when these radioactive emissions fragment or ionize molecules. For example, α and β particles emitted from nuclear decay reactions possess much higher energies than ordinary chemical bond energies. When these particles strike and penetrate matter, they...

Sustainable Development

15.1K
As the human population continues to grow and use resources, we must be mindful of our planet’s natural limits. Sustainable development provides a pathway to maintain and improve human life now while also ensuring that future generations will have the resources that they need. The long-term success of sustainability efforts rests on understanding the interplay between human actions and ecological systems.

Synthetic Biology02:55

Synthetic Biology

5.6K
Synthetic biology is an interdisciplinary science that involves using principles from disciplines such as engineering, molecular biology, cell biology, and systems biology. It involves remodeling existing organisms from nature or constructing completely new synthetic organisms for applications such as protein or enzyme production, bioremediation, value-added macromolecule production, and the addition of desirable traits to crops, to name a few.

Biological Causes of Schizophrenia01:29

Biological Causes of Schizophrenia

626
Schizophrenia, a severe psychiatric disorder, arises from a complex interplay of biological factors, including genetic predisposition, structural brain abnormalities, neurotransmitter dysregulation, and developmental irregularities. These factors collectively contribute to the onset and progression of the disorder, which typically manifests in late adolescence or early adulthood.
Genetic Factors in Schizophrenia
The genetic basis of schizophrenia is strongly supported by family and twin...

Applications Of NMR In Biology01:25

Applications Of NMR In Biology

4.5K
Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is a very valuable analytical technique for researchers. It has been used for more than 50 years as an analytical tool. F. Bloch and E. Purcell formulated NMR in 1946 and won the 1952 Nobel Prize in Physics  for their work. Biological macromolecules such as proteins, nucleic acids, lipids, and organic molecules including pharmaceutical compounds, can be studied using this versatile tool that exploits the magnetic properties of certain nuclei.

Area of Science:

  • Regenerative Medicine
  • Biomaterials Science
  • Plastic Surgery

Background:

  • Current breast reconstruction techniques face limitations and complications.
  • Novel approaches are needed to improve outcomes in breast cancer reconstruction.
  • Biological breast implants offer a potential alternative to traditional silicone implants.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate a novel biological breast implant composed of acellular dermal matrix (ADM) and natural biological content.
  • To assess the feasibility of combining ADM implants with autologous fat and dermal microbeads.
  • To investigate tissue integration and biological response in a preclinical porcine model.

Main Methods:

  • Four types of implants were tested in Yorkshire pigs: ADM with autologous fat and dermal microbeads, ADM with autologous fat alone, ADM with dermal microbeads alone, and a P4HB mesh implant.
  • Implants were placed in subcutaneous pockets and evaluated over three months.
  • Assessments included clinical observation, physical examination, and histological analysis focusing on inflammation, neovascularization, and tissue integration.

Main Results:

  • The ADM implant filled with autologous fat and dermal microbeads demonstrated good tissue integration, moderate neovascularization, and fibrous encapsulation.
  • Some steatonecrosis was observed in the ADM implant with autologous fat and dermal microbeads.
  • ADM implants filled with dermal microbeads alone and the P4HB mesh implant showed poor integration and rigidity, while ADM with autologous fat alone failed structurally.

Conclusions:

  • The study represents a preliminary step towards developing a fully biological breast implant.
  • Combining ADM implants with autologous fat and dermal microbeads shows potential for improved breast reconstruction.
  • Further research is needed to optimize implant composition and explore alternative fillers for enhanced viability and vascularization.
