The ability to precisely predict movements is essential not only for humans and animals, but also for many AI applications - ...

Neural tissue requires significant energy during repair, making magnesium particularly important during recovery phases. The carotenoids in leafy greens—including beta-carotene, ...

The bioprinted neural cells matured and retained tissue form, with GFP-expressing cells in one band transforming into microtubule-associated protein 2 (MAP2+) neurons a week after printing.

This is important since, when tissue in our brain is damaged, the neuronal tissue does not have the same regenerative capacity as other parts of our body such as skin. The first step for researchers ...

Here, MIT Professor Nir Shavit talks about “connectomics” and work pioneered by Santiago Ramon y Cahal (Cahal, along with Camillo Golgi, received the Nobel Prize in Physiology/Medicine in 1906 ...

The researchers aimed to construct layered neural tissue in which neural progenitor cells (NPCs) mature and form connections (synapses) within and across layers while maintaining structure.

Earlier versions of 3D-printed neural tissue often excluded glial cells, which help maintain a welcoming environment for their sensitive neuron neighbors. Without them, ...

“Therefore, this two-step method for neural regeneration may become a new approach for therapeutic brain tissue reconstruction after brain damage in the future.” “We are currently trying to prove ...
