- Scientists Report Early Progress in Tissue Engineering Mandibular Condyle
Researchers have long dreamed of engineering new knees, hips and other body joints in the laboratory from a person’s own bone and cartilage producing adult stem cells. The challenge has been to figure out how to manipulate these cells and get them to form tissues that precisely mirror the natural three-dimensional structure and mechanical strength of our normal, healthy joints. Now, in an important first step toward realizing this dream, scientists report in this month’s issue of the Journal of...

- Bed Sharing with Siblings, Soft Bedding, Increase SIDS Risk
Infants who share a bed with other children are at a higher risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) than are other infants, according to the most recent analysis of a study of predominantly African American SIDS deaths in Chicago. The analysis, appearing in the May, 2003 Pediatrics, also found that two known risk factors for SIDS sleeping on soft bedding and sleeping on the stomach pose a far greater risk of SIDS when they occur together than the sum of both risk factors added...

- Soft Tissue Sarcomas: Questions and Answers
What is soft tissue? The term soft tissue refers to tissues that connect, support, or surround other structures and organs of the body. Soft tissue includes muscles, tendons (bands of fiber that connect muscles to bones), fibrous tissues, fat, blood vessels, nerves, and synovial tissues (tissues around joints). What are soft tissue sarcomas? Malignant (cancerous) tumors that develop in soft tissue are called sarcomas, a term that comes from a Greek word meaning "fleshy growth." There...

- Synovial Sarcoma
Key Points Synovial sarcoma is a rare type of cancer that occurs most often around the joints in the legs and arms. Pain and tenderness are the most common symptoms, usually accompanied by a swelling or mass. Synovial sarcomas are found more often in adolescents and young adults than in older people, and slightly more often in men than in women. Children and adults are encouraged to enroll in clinical trials (research studies with people) exploring new and more effective treatments. Synovial...
