Interviews concerning innovations
Inventions, technologies, devices - something new always happens in the field of medical technology. Experts, researchers and inventors talk about prospects of new treatments and sometimes also their dangers - on MEDICA.de.
"Cardiac muscle cells or bone cells can be generated from undifferentiated cells"
( Source: MEDICA.de )
[22/05/2013] Accidents or afflictions can permanently damage tissue. Quite often this means chronic pain or disability for the person affected. Tissue Engineering is a method that promises a cure – by cultivating new tissue in the laboratory. On the one hand, this method produces reliable substitutes for artificial implants. But on the other hand, it is lengthy and expensive, too. "Cardiac muscle cells or bone cells can be generated from undifferentiated cells" - Read more
“The tiny umbrella prevents thrombus formation in the left auricle”

[08/04/2013] Though they are not wearing bowler hats like in the British cult show “The Avengers”, physicians are however “avenging” strokes so to speak by using an umbrella. The umbrella however, is not meant to protect patients from rain. The small implant is inserted into the heart where it prevents blood clots that can reach the head and trigger a stroke. “The tiny umbrella prevents thrombus formation in the left auricle” - Read more
“Blood pressure adjustment takes time”
( Source: MEDICA.de )
[22/03/2013] Electric stimulation is the artificial activation of nerves through electric current. The most widely known example from medicine may be the cardiac pacemaker. But chronic high blood pressure can also be treated with an active implant: the baroreceptor stimulator triggers a stimulus in the nervous system that causes a drop of blood pressure. “Blood pressure adjustment takes time” - Read more
”The wounds are cleaner and the wound edges can grow closer together“
( Source: MEDICA.de )
[08/01/2013] Whether it is due to a chronic condition or after surgery – wound healing often gives patients a hard time. Several therapies promise relief, but which of them really keep their word? Negative pressure wound therapy is currently examined very closely and carefully. ”The wounds are cleaner and the wound edges can grow closer together“ - Read more
”The project’s goal is to grow three-dimensional neural tissue“
( Source: MEDICA.de )
[21/12/2012] The international partners of the “3D-NeuroN” research project want to cultivate nerve tissue in three dimensions. German researchers are working on micro sensors with which they want to measure and evaluate electrical activity of neurons in three-dimensional cell cultures. ”The project’s goal is to grow three-dimensional neural tissue“ - Read more
