MEDFORD/SOMERVILLE, Mass. -- Biomedical engineers at Tufts University’s School of Engineering have demonstrated the first all-polymeric bone scaffold material that is fully biodegradable and capable of providing significant mechanical support during repair.
The new technology uses micron-sized silk fibers to reinforce a silk matrix, much as steel rebar reinforces concrete. It could improve the way bones and other tissues are repaired following accident or disease.
Garlic from time immemorial has been known to keep cholesterol under control. A recent study has claimed that the pungent herb can help in controlling and reducing high blood pressure.
The study by University of Adelaide notes that high blood pressure levels can be brought down if garlic is taken frequently. The conclusion that garlic was good for blood pressure was reached after analysing eleven studies, in which the patients were asked to take garlic supplements.
