Engineered cells successfully treat cardiovascular and pulmonary disease
Scientists at UC San Francisco have shown that gene-edited cellular therapeutics can be used to successfully treat cardiovascular and pulmonary diseases, potentially paving the way for developing less expensive cellular therapies to treat diseases for which there are currently few viable options.
Plexin-A1 gene plays a more extensive role in brain development, study shows
Study by the University of Bonn shows that mutations of the investigated gene manifest in different patterns of inheritance.
The layered structure of nerve cells in the neocortex
The neocortex is a layered structure of the brain in which neurons are arranged parallel to each other. This organization is critical for healthy brain function.
GOOGLE AND HARVARD SCIENTISTS CREATE 3D MAP OF THE HUMAN BRAIN USING 225 MILLION IMAGES
Demonstrating just how extraordinary of an organ the human brain is, a team of scientists with Google and Harvard University has just conjured up an amazing color-coded map of nearly 4,000 incoming axons connecting to a single neuron.
NTU scientists turn unwanted fish scales & bullfrog skin into new biomaterial that helps repair bone tissue
Scientists at the Nanyang Technological University (NTU) have discovered a method to convert aquaculture waste into a new sustainable biomaterial that could potentially benefit the field of medicine.
Human stem cells enable model to test drug impact on brain's blood barrier
Using an experimental model to simulate the blood-brain barrier, scientists in Sweden reported in unprecedented detail how antioxidants protect the brain from inflammation caused by neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's.
How "paralyzed" immune cells can be reactivated against brain tumors
Brain tumor cells with a certain common mutation reprogram invading immune cells. This leads to the paralysis of the body's immune defense against the tumor in the brain.
The First 3-D-Printed Rib-Eye Was Just Unveiled, and It Looks Surprisingly Tasty
The world’s first 3-D-printed steak just made its sizzling debut and quite possibly set the meat industry on a new course.
