Using a Machine Model to Predict Risk of Human Aneurysms

By The McGowan Institute For Regenerative Medicine | Computations and Modeling, Current News | Comments are Closed | 3 March, 2021 | 0

An abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) can be a ticking time bomb if undiscovered in time. However, researchers at the University of Pittsburgh are developing a new model to better predict at-risk patients. And the tools they are using apply mechanical testing to the human body – which is itself a complex machine. Read More

Commonalities Found Between Viral Infections and Ovarian Cancer

By The McGowan Institute For Regenerative Medicine | Cancer, Current News | Comments are Closed | 3 March, 2021 | 0

DNA viruses, such as herpesviruses and poxviruses, are among the most prolific and deadly viruses on Earth. Their ability to proliferate widely is due in large part to the way these viruses incubate in the body. Many DNA viral infections can enter what’s known as a latent state, in which the person does not experience symptoms of illness, though the virus is still present and able to reactivate to a proliferative state later. Latent viral infections also express different markers than the proliferative phenotypes, rendering them invisible to current treatments and screening. Read More

Podcast: Dr. Ioannis Zervantonakis Discusses the Microenvironment of Tumors

By The McGowan Institute For Regenerative Medicine | Cancer, Current News | Comments are Closed | 3 March, 2021 | 0

At the University of Pittsburgh Swanson School of Engineering, the Tumor Microenvironment Engineering Laboratory (TME Lab) is where researchers employ a quantitative approach that integrates microfluidics, systems biology modeling, and in vivo experiments to investigate the role of the tumor microenvironment on breast and ovarian cancer growth, metastasis, and drug resistance. The goal of the TME lab research program is to discover biomarkers that guide new drug development and improve prognosis, develop new strategies to optimize existing treatment protocols, and engineer microfabricated tools that enable screening and personalization of cancer therapies.

Pitt Scientists Find the Key to Viral-Bacterial Co-Infection

By The McGowan Institute For Regenerative Medicine | Current News, Epidemiology | Comments are Closed | 24 February, 2021 | 0

The mechanism by which acute viral respiratory infections promote secondary bacterial growth and infection in the airways depends on iron-carrying extracellular sacs secreted by the cells lining the host’s airways, report researchers from the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine in a paper published in Cell Reports.  McGowan Institute for Regenerative Medicine faculty member Donna Stolz, PhD, associate director of the Center for Biologic Imaging, University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, and an associate professor in the Departments of Cell Biology and Pathology at the University of Pittsburgh, is a co-author on the paper.
