Dr Sophie Burling used her doctoral research to create a new patient-specific model of motor neurone disease, laying the ...
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 cells, ...
The image shows motor neurons that have been generated from human iPSC (induced pluripotent stem cells) and integrated into a 3D-printed bioscaffold. The cells (shown in red) grow inside the ...
Researchers are engineering a new class of miniature antibodies, called intrabodies, that can operate inside living cells to ...
Mutations that cause spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) may lead to abnormalities in the development of cells in the spinal cord, a study found.
If you have upper motor neuron lesions, you have damage to certain nerve cells that help you move. Medicines and therapy can help control symptoms like muscle spasms and help you walk and talk more ...
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 cells, ...
In A Nutshell For the first time in humans, scientists decoded intended movements across all three joints of a missing leg, ...
Regular activity not only strengthens muscles but can bolster our bones, blood vessels, and immune system. MIT engineers have now found that exercise can also have benefits at the level of individual ...
Our bodies’ nerve cells are important for transmitting electrical and chemical information between different parts of the brain and between the brain and other parts of the nervous system. One of the ...
