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 ...

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, ...

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 ...

For the first time, an electrical communication has just been established between a living nerve cell and its artificial equivalent. In the laboratories of the University of Massachusetts, engineers ...

Hour after hour, year after year, Santiago Ramón y Cajal sat alone in his home laboratory, head bowed and back hunched, his black eyes staring down the barrel of a microscope, the sole object ...

Working out your muscles may help heal your nerves after injury, by encouraging those neurons to grow faster. In a new study of mouse cells, scientists found that both the biochemical and mechanical ...

There's no doubt that exercise does a body good. Regular activity not only strengthens muscles but can bolster our bones, blood vessels, and immune system. Now, MIT engineers have found that exercise ...

The sural nerve, positioned beneath the skin’s surface in the back of your lower leg, plays a critical role in your body’s sensory network. As a component of the peripheral nervous system, this nerve ...
