Scientists at The Jackson Laboratory (JAX) have developed mouse models that survive premature death and enable pre-clinical ...

Neuroscientists want to understand how individual neurons encode information that allows us to distinguish objects, like ...

Proteins are the infinitely varied chemicals that make cells work, and science has a pretty good idea how they are made. But ...

D bioprinted nerve tissues offer new hope for ALS drug testing. Uppsala team creates motor neuron organoids from patient ...

Briefly, the mice were anesthetized with 2% isoflurane in 100% oxygen, with surgery performed by 1/3-1/2 ligation of the medial portion of the sciatic nerve with 8-0 silk thread. In the control group, ...

LOS ANGELES — Michael King, the San Diego Padres’ No. 1 starter and a key to their hopes of staying in postseason contention, is expected to remain sidelined through at least the All-Star ...

But the nerve issue presents its own set of challenges -- namely finding a treatment and buildup plan. Obviously, the Padres won’t rush King. But they could use some help for their thin rotation. San ...

Diaphragm monitoring relies on the measurement of trans diaphragmatic pressure (Pdi) during cervical magnetic stimulation (CMS). Specifically, twitch Pdi (Pditw) is measured using esophageal and ...

Model produced with 3D printer In the current study, the researchers used human stem cells generated from skin and programmed to become motor neuron progenitors, a type of immature nerve cell that ...

With the aid of a 3D printer, researchers at Uppsala University have succeeded in creating a model that resembles human nerve tissue. The model, which can be cultured from the patient’s own ...

In several applications the information is naturally represented by graphs. Traditional approaches cope with graphical data structures using a preprocessing phase which transforms the graphs into a ...

The contralateral facial nerve used as a transfacial graft requires a period of 9 to 12 months for the axons to migrate through the graft, causing the facial muscles to be paralyzed during this time ...
