Why scientists need to freeze brain tissue Brain diseases pose an enormous cost, financially and in human lives. And over 90% of new candidate drugs fail during clinical trials. This failure is ...

Cancers at any stage during development or adulthood can also develop within neural tissues as well as in the surrounding tissue, resulting in general brain dysfunction, including seizures, muscle ...

Neural tissue engineering, spinal cord repair, cardiovascular diseases, drug delivery, biomaterial scaffolds, stem cells, neural electrode/tissue interface, and surface modification.

While neurological disorders often result in irreversible cell loss, stimulating NPCs—rare cells capable of repairing neural tissue—has shown promise when it comes to expanding limited ...

A research group from the Institute for Research on Next-generation Semiconductor and Sensing Science (IRES²) at Toyohashi ...

Physical exercise also enhances brain health by increasing blood flow and oxygen delivery to neural tissues. Combining mental and physical activities, such as dancing or sports requiring strategic ...

Using tiny nanopillars, they mimic the soft neural tissue and the brain extracellular matrix fibers. This model provides new insights into how neurons form networks, as well as a novel tool to ...

This inspired Su-Chun Zhang, a stem cell biologist at Duke-National University of Singapore Medical School and the University of Wisconsin-Madison, to design a platform to reliably model functional ...

One of the most agonizing experiences a cancer patient suffers is waiting without knowing: waiting for a diagnosis, waiting ...
