| | Childhood Soft Tissue Sarcoma |
 | | Treatment for recurrent childhood soft tissue sarcoma depends on the treatment your child received before, the part of the body where the cancer has come back, and your child's general condition. | | | Soft tissue sarcomas may develop in any part of the body, but in young patients they are most commonly found in the trunk, arms, and legs. | | | Childhood soft tissue sarcoma is a disease in which cancer (malignant) cells begin growing in soft tissue in the body. |

| | During the 1950s, fetal tissue was used to help develop the polio vaccine and it was used later in the development of the rubella vaccine (Coutts, 1993). | | | The act allows individuals to give their consent — in writing — for their entire body or parts of their body to be used for research, education, therapy, or transplantation. | | | A woman's choice to donate to medical research tissue that she has aborted begins and ends with her. |

| | Human tissue grown outside the body involves placing human cells on degradable polymer scaffolding inside a bioreactor -- a device to replicate the human body. | | | Standing in the way are obstacles to harvesting the stem cells, growing them in sufficient quantities, urging their differentiation into the cells for tissue you want, and making them work in the body. | | | The obvious advantages to growing human tissue from a patient's own cells and then transplanting it is that you don't reject your own tissue. |

| | Muscle tissue |
| | Muscle tissue has a ability to relax and contrast and so bring about movement and mechanical work in various parts of the body. | | | There are other movements in the body too which are necessary for the survival of the organism such as the heart beat and the movements of the alimentary canal. | | | Smooth muscle controls slow, involuntary movements such as the contraction of the smooth muscle tissue in the walls of the stomach and intestines. |

| | Skin (dermatology, integumentary system, tissue) - Medical Encyclopedia for Nursing Students |
| | The skin is often known as "the largest organ in the human body": this does not only (obviously) apply with regard to surface area, but also with regard to weight, as it weighs more than any single internal organ. | | | Damaged skin will try to heal by forming scar tissue, often giving rise to discoloration and depigmentation of the skin. | | | In zootomy and dermatology, skin is an organ of the integumentary system; which is composed of a layer of tissuess that protect underlying muscles and organs. |

| | Lean Muscle Tissue |
| | So, the less lean body tissue you have, the less calories you can consume. | | | When someone refers to lean muscle tissue, they mean everything in the body that is not fat - bones, water, muscles, skin etc. The goal in fitness, is to increase the amount of lean muscle tissue, and decrease the amount of fat tissue. | | | As more muscle tissue is lost because of fad dieting and lack of exercise, lean body mass decreases and body fat percentage increases. |

| | Work with your own scar tissue and get rid of it! |
| | With regard to scar tissue, nutrition plays an important role in how quickly the body will be able to develop feeling in an area and breakdown the scar tissue. | | | However, when serious scar tissue develops (as is often the case in whiplash and surgery) it can take a lot more to get that tissue to be reabsorbed into the body. | | | Muscle can be divided into two groups with regard to scar tissue; areas which can be worked through direct massage, and those which are much more difficult to work with using massage. |
