A Bright Future for Biomedical Engineering

Biomedical Engineering – Past , Present , Future

Medicine and health care have changed dramatically in the past few decades and they depend on high technology for prevention, diagnosis and treatment of diseases, and for patient rehabilitation. Modern biomedical research and health care are provided by multidisciplinary teams in which biomedical engineers contribute to the advancement of knowledge equally as medical professions. Biomedical eng...

A Bright Future for Antibiotics?

Multidrug resistance is a global threat as the clinically available potent antibiotic drugs are becoming exceedingly scarce. For example, increasing drug resistance among gram-positive bacteria is responsible for approximately one-third of nosocomial infections. As ribosomes are a major target for these drugs, they may serve as suitable objects for novel development of next-generation antibioti...

A bright future for the bright yellow-2 cell culture.

The capacity of plant cells to revive out of a latent stage of differentiation and to start dividing in the presence of appropriate hormone concentrations has facilitated the in vitro culturing of a panoply of plant species from different tissue sources. Cell biology studies have been performed on many different cultures, but their divergent nature has complicated the integration of research in...
