Both a vascular blood supply and the mucosal lining of a trachea will help preserve the unique characteristicsof the tracheal cartilaginousframework during restoration of the cricotracheal airway. The ...

Using 3D printing, investigators from the non-profit Feinstein Institute for Medical Research here have created cartilage designed for tracheal repair or replacement. The trachea or windpipe is a ...

Management of tracheal stenosis in a child is complex, and patients with severe tracheal stenosis often require tracheal replacement. There is no ideal method to reproduce the biomechanical properties ...

It was recently announced that investigators at The Feinstein Institute for Medical Research have made a medical breakthrough using the MakerBot Replicator 2X Experimental 3D Printer. Specifically ...

In the trachea, or windpipe, there are tracheal rings, also known as tracheal cartilages. Cartilage is strong but flexible tissue. The tracheal cartilages help support the trachea while still allowing ...

We have performed a comprehensive analysis of gene-expression profiles in human articular cartilage (hyaline cartilage) and meniscus (fibrocartilage) by means of a cDNA microarray consisting of 23,040 ...

The laryngotracheal groove arises from the floor of the primitive pharynx at around E9.5 in mice, and the trachea and the two primitive lung buds differentiate from this primitive lung anlagen. The ...

The trachea is a tube-like structure in the neck and upper chest. It stretches from the larynx, or voice box, to the bronchi and transports air to and from the lungs when a person breathes. When a ...
