UTMB Health battles premature births with Pregnancy on a Chip
UTMB Health battles premature births with Pregnancy on a Chip
Dr. Ramkumar Menon of the Menon Lab at UTMB Health talks about his research that recreates the organs involved in pregnancy stored on a chip.
To improve preclinical drug testing, researchers used the organ-on-a-chip approach to mimic human pregnancy by using miniature organ models of human cells embedded onto silicon surfaces.
The team, led by Dr. Ramkumar Menon, a professor in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, used these devices to successfully test drugs for conditions like preterm birth and pre-eclampsia during pregnancy. This breakthrough in preclinical research is expected to reduce the use of animal models for pregnancy drug trials, expediting clinical trials and the drug approval process.

It is estimated 6 million Americans of all ages have Alzheimer's.
About 1 in 9 people age 65 or older has Alzheimer's. That is almost 11% of the population over 65 who have the disease.

There are, however new treatments, more research and resources available.
UTMB Health is part of some groundbreaking research and we will discuss that on today's show.
We have assembled experts in research, caregiving and the Alzheimer's Association to provide answers and resources for those who may need the information now or in the future.
Still, there is yet to be magic therapy or a cure just around the corner.
So, we will also discuss what resources are available and provide information for caregivers.

Fundraiser for Hike for Hope on Sunday
Fundraiser for Hike for Hope on Sunday
As event organizers prepare for the upcoming Hike for Hope 2023, there will be a fundraiser Sunday afternoon to raise money to put on the annual walk in remembrance of those lost to suicide.
In 2022, the Galveston chapter of the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention held its first Hike for Hope fundraising event, drawing hundreds of participants to the Seawall.
This year, event chairs Terri Sudduth and Stephanie Waltman expect the event - set for Saturday (3/25/2023) beginning at McGuire-Dent Recreation Center, 2222 28th Street, in Galveston - to be even bigger and better. The goal is to inform the public about suicide and provide resources to those impacted by suicide.
As the event grows in the coming years, they said, there will always be a need for volunteers.
