UCI eye doctors invent laser-assisted cornea-transplant surgery
...r transplantation, Steinert and his team performed simulated transplant surgery and then tested for the mechanical strength of the incisions and for induced distortion. They found that the initial strength of the laser incision, even before any healing, measured almost seven times higher than that of the inci...Officials simulate bioterrorist attack to test APL-developed disease surveillance
... exercise was designed to test the system, using a simulated terrorist attack to observe the response from public health authorities.

In several experiments, the researchers simulated hypertrophy for up to nine weeks in groups of 10 to 40 male mice, some bred with and some bred without the gene for the most prominent of the NO-making enzymes, nitric-oxide synthase-3 (NOS3).
