Children's diets | Heart disease | Tissue scaffold

April 7, 2020 Edition COVID-19 is an emerging, rapidly evolving situation, and we at NIH are doing everything we can toward the development of diagnostics, therapeutics, and vaccines. You can find the latest public health information from CDC at www.coronavirus.gov and the latest research information from NIH at www.nih.gov/coronavirus. Meanwhile, science continues to progress on many other fronts, and we will continue to try to bring you stories across a wide range of topics. Diets improve but remain poor for most U.S. children Although diet quality improved modestly for American children and adolescents from 1999 to 2016, more than half still had poor quality diets. Comparing heart disease treatments For patients with heart disease, invasive procedures showed similar reductions in the risk of heart attack and death to medication and lifestyle changes alone. 3D-printed scaffold engineered to grow complex tissues A new technique to engrave 3D-printed scaffolds could be used to boost the repair of complex tissues with different types of cells, such as bone and cartilage.
