Footage reveals Hurricane Matthew devastation in Haiti

Footage emerging from Haiti has started to show the impact of Hurricane Matthew on the island. At least 26 people have been killed with a further 350,000 needing immediate assistance as houses were knocked down and widespread flooding was caused by the Category 3-5 storm. The full extent of the damage is unclear at the moment as communications are still down in the worst affected areas. Oct 6, 2016
New research gives hope to those with head and facial deformities

New research gives hope to those with head and facial deformities

Scientists have found out that calcium in our bones regulates the cells that orchestrate bone growth. This finding is important because it could affect treatment for certain conditions such as face deformities – for example, diseases of too little bone growth, such as Treacher Collins Syndrome (TCS). The researchers hope that their efforts to pinpoint the key signals that trigger proper bone growth can help these patients to avoid painful face reconstruction surgeries. One option could be the implantation of a biodegradable matrix seeded with bone cells called chondrocytes, which would then be stimulated to release collagen, the blueprint for bone growth.
