Defining the Relationship Between Mechanical Stress and Inadvertent Intestinal Tissue Injury In Laparoscopic Surgery
… an inappropriate amount of force when handling tissue is much higher in laparoscopic surgery than in open surgical approaches because surgeons lose the ability to directly touch and feel delicate tissue. The two most commonly injured tissues in laparoscopic surgery are the small bowel (55.8%) …

Organ-Level Communication During Heart Regeneration In Zebrafish.
<p>Tissue regeneration has been primarily investigated as local remodeling events in response to tissue damage or loss. Recent studies, however, indicate that uninjured structures can respond to distant tissue trauma and, in some cases, regulate tissue regeneration. One of the key questions that …
