Keeping you up to date on recent developments in orthopedics, including: Injectable porous scaffolds promote better, quicker healing after spinal cord injuries; Researchers grow most lifelike bone yet from woven cells; Rapid 3D printing method moves toward 3D-printed organs; Study links kidney stones with bone problems.
Stimulating the liver with focused ultrasound decreased obesity, chronic inflammation and metabolic dysfunction in preclinical studies, reported GE Research and the Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research, the research arm of Northwell Health. In a study published in Scientific Reports, researchers demonstrated that nerve modulation with ultrasound in mice helped regulate neurons involved in food intake, glucose regulation and metabolism without negative side effects.
