| | Deep Tissue Massage |
 | | Deep Tissue Massage is a massage technique that focuses on the deeper layers of muscle tissue. | | | Deep tissue massage is used to release chronic muscle tension through slower strokes and more direct deep pressure or friction applied across the grain of the muscles not with the grain. | | | Deep tissue massage usually focuses on more specific areas and may cause some soreness during or right after the massage. |

| | The arrays are assembled by taking core needle “biopsies” from specific locations in pre-existing paraffin-embedded tissue blocks and re-embedding them in an arrayed “master” block, using techniques and an apparatus developed by Konenen et al. | | | This is done by using a needle to biopsy a standard histologic sections and placing the core into an array on a recipient paraffin block. | | | Figure 1 shows an example of a tissue microarray and its construction. |

| | Tissue engineering - Nature Biotechnology |
| | Tissue and organ failure, produced as a result of injury or other type of damage, is a major health problem, accounting for about half of the total annual expenditure in health care in the US Treatment options include transplantation (human or xenotransplantation), surgical repair, artificial prostheses, mechanical devices, and in a few cases, drug therapy. | | | Efforts to address these issues are underway, and if past success is any indication, this technology is certainly one that will have a major impact in future health care practice. | | | Part of the interest and support for tissue engineering comes from the armed forces, in that numerous battlefield-related medical applications exist for tissue-engineered products and biomaterials. |

| | 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. | | | This process is called keratinization and takes place within days (check?). |
