D mini-brains made from human cells could help researchers study myelin damage and screen potential treatments for multiple sclerosis.

Researchers have developed 3D "mini-brains" they hope will help speed up the search for much-needed drug treatments for multiple sclerosis (MS), an autoimmune condition affecting almost 3 million ...

A research team led by Florey and Monash University has developed a 3D cell model that mimics myelin damage and repair in the human central ...

The IBEC researcher designs biomaterials and human spinal cord models to get neurons to reconnect after an injury ...

After years of symptoms blamed on her weight and mental health, one woman's persistence led to a blood test that finally revealed the cause.

The brain is often described in terms of cells and wiring. However, much of it is made of lipids that form the membranes of neurons, wrap nerve fibers ...

Scientists build the first 3D "Lipid Brain Atlas," defining 539 chemical zones ("lipizones") and revealing white matter is a patchwork of distinct biochemical zones.

If I had to describe this week's DeepTech in one word, it was a week of "changing how we access what already exists, rather than increasing the number of new materials."Instead of lining up multiple ...

Photovoltaic Stimulation of Mouse and Pig Retina With Pyrolytic Carbon Microelectrodes Integrated on High-Density Silicon Solar Cell ArraysCarbon electrodes instead of metal. Testing light-driven ...

The recently released "connectome" joins a previously completed map of an adult female fruit fly’s brain. The digital 3D diagrams allow scientists to trace precise neural paths in the bugs’ brains, wh ...
