Physicists Find Patterns Within Seemingly Random Events Of Physiologic
Finding patterns behind seemingly random events is the signature of a recent trio of research studies coming from the statistical physics group in Boston University's Department of Physics. Injecting Autologous Cells Could Relieve Urinary Incontinence
Transurethral injections of autologous myoblasts and fibroblasts could relieve stress urinary incontinence in women, conclude authors of a recent article published in The Lancet. Myoblasts are a type of muscle stem cell, while fibroblasts are cells which form the structural framework for many tissues in the body. UK Has Worst Outcome For Stroke Patients In Western Europe
