Researchers developed an advanced organoid model for human spinal cord injury and tested a promising regenerative therapy. The treatment triggered neurite growth and reduced scarring in injured organoids, offering validation for its potential to work in humans.
Researchers found that pig skin attached to underlying tissue reduced damage from puncture by about 60% at slower speeds and 73% at higher speeds compared to the same tissue without skin. Synthetic skin offered less protection, reducing the damage by less than 40% at slower speeds and less than 30% at higher speeds.
A new $3.5 million NIH grant will investigate the complex interplay between traumatic brain injury and genetic risk factors in the development of Alzheimer's disease. The three-year study will use rodents to assess disease progression across different age periods, providing insights into potential early intervention strategies.
Researchers created a model to calculate the energetics involved in piercing with biological tools. The model can be applied to various organisms and will help scientists study and compare different puncturing systems.
