UT Arlington, University of Washington partner to design bioengineered REHEAL Glove for healing of extremity trauma

Improving health careUT Arlington and University of Washington researchers are developing a healing glove that delivers needed medicine to an injured hand and speeds up healing so that rehabilitation can start sooner. Dr. Christopher Allan of the University of Washington and Muthu Wijesundara of the University of Texas at Arlington Research Institute have received $117,959 from the University of Washington Coulter Translational Research Partnership to extend research and development of the Bioengineered Smart-Glove for Regenerative Healing of Extremity Trauma. This is a flexible

Researchers provide new details about sea stars' immunity

ARLINGTON, Texas -- A study led by a University of Texas at Arlington graduate student examining sea stars dying along the West Coast provides new clues about the starfish's immune response and its ability to protect a diverse coastal ecosystem. Lauren Fuess, a Ph.D. candidate in quantitative biology, and her team looked at the wasting disease responsible for the largest die-off of sea stars ever recorded. Scientists believe that a virus related to rabies causes wasting disease. When infected, the stars' arms contort, and they develop white lesions. The normally rigid stars begin to melt

UT Arlington anthropologist awarded prestigious Leakey Foundation grant to research early humans in South Africa

ARLINGTON, Texas -- University of Texas at Arlington anthropologist has been awarded a grant from the prestigious Leakey Foundation that will enable her to research early humans in South Africa. Naomi Cleghorn, assistant professor in the Department of Sociology and Anthropology, will lead a team of researchers and students this summer to a site near Knysna, South Africa, on the southern coast of the continent. She believes the site dates to a rarely represented time period – between 44,000 and 18,000 years ago – and holds never-before-seen evidence of early human evolution. The
