Life-long medical conditions and disabilities associated with preterm birth could be prevented with a new bioengineering approach led by researchers at Queen Mary University of London (QMUL). Bioengineers from SEMS…

More than 80, 000 babies in England are born prematurely each year and need specialist hospital care. If a baby is born preterm between 25 and 34 weeks gestation, survival…

This project will develop a device that can monitor the amount of water a patient has consumed (hydration) and compare to the amount water that is lost (dehydration). This novel…

We have developed a novel non-animal model to study osteoarthritis. The ex-vivo system applies mechanical loading to cartilage cells taken from the joints of animals that normally would be abbatoir…

There is a strong clinical need for tissue replacement in infants and children. Most tissue and organ engineering efforts are targeted at adult patients, who suffer from tissue loss because…

Cartilage covers the surface of joints preventing damage to soft tissues whilst supporting the body’s weight during movement and exercise. However, the structure and function of cartilage is often damaged…

Scientists at the Institute of Bioengineering have been testing the latest Google Glass technology for teaching concepts in bioengineering to undergraduate and postgraduate students at Queen Mary University of London.…

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a chronic, painful condition that affects the cartilage tissue lining the knee joints in both the young and ageing population. There are drugs available to control the…

Pre-term premature rupture of the fetal membranes (PPROM) occurs commonly after amniocentesis and fetoscopic surgery. However, membrane healing is poor making attempts to seal the defect ineffective. Intra-amniotic infusion with…
