Researcher Envisions Many Uses for Small Biosensors
Picture yourself with an aortic aneurysm, a weak spot in the vessel that bulges outward and is in danger of bursting. Your doctor has fixed it with a stent, which is like sealing off the weak spot and putting in a new, stronger channel. But what if the stent leaks? That's a problem that Keat Ghee Ong, an assistant professor in the biomedical engineering department, is addressing. |

Tech Start-up Wins BioScience Showcase in Detroit
Kalamazoo-based Aursos Inc. is a company established to commercialize a treatment for osteoporosis and other bone disorders based on research by Associate Professor Seth Donahue on black bear parathyroid hormone. Bears hibernate for months without suffering a loss in bone density, and Donahue has linked that natural resistance to the bears' parathyroid hormone.
