AATB is excited to introduce a revolutionary initiative that is set to transform the efficiency and effectiveness of tissue recovery operations for all our valued members.

Join us in commemorating National Donate Life Month this upcoming April by sharing your establishment's unique donation stories with AATB. Contribute to the collective narrative that highlights the transformative power of donation, inspiring and informing others about the significance of tissue donation for transplant or research, as well as whole-body donation. Each story is a crucial part of our community dedicated to enhancing lives through these incredible gifts.

University of Wisconsin–Madison
University of Wisconsin–Madison scientists have developed 3D-printed brain tissue mimicking human brain functions, using a novel horizontal layering technique and a softer bio-ink gel. The accessible method holds promise for widespread research applications.

Drug Target Review
Scientists explore how spiny mice regenerate tissue with macrophages, aiming to apply insights to improve wound healing in humans. The research suggests potential therapies enhancing regenerative healing, opening avenues for future treatments.

News-Medical.Net
Researchers at UCL developed CT-visible surgical meshes, aiding diagnosis and re-operation for hernias. By adapting chemistry to enhance X-ray absorption, they create distinguishable meshes tested successfully in mice.

Massachusetts Institute of Technology
MIT and Brigham and Women’s Hospital/Harvard Medical School researchers developed a microscopy technique to image human brain tissue at unprecedented detail, revealing previously unseen structures.

Nucleic Acids Research
A new study emphasizes the vital role of a functional spliceosome in maintaining cellular and organismal health. Xrp1 drives stress responses due to U5 snRNP scarcity, implicating cellular senescence in related pathologies.

Join us February 21, as we unveil AATB’s Universal MS Tissue Pack Project. Delve into the behind-the-scenes process that led to the creation of these innovative packs. Not only will you gain valuable insights on how you and your teams can seamlessly access them, revolutionizing the efficiency of the recovery process, but you will also get an exclusive preview of what lies ahead. Reserve your spot now to join the conversation and participate in a live Q&A session.
