Artificial nerve cells – almost like biological
Researchers at Linköping University (LiU) have created an artificial organic neuron that closely mimics the characteristics of biological nerve cells. This artificial neuron can stimulate natural nerves, making it a promising technology for various medical treatments in the future. Work to develop increasingly functional artificial nerve cells continues at the Laboratory for Organic Electronics, LOE. In 2022,...

Missed signals? A new way we vary from each other biologically
by Nancy Fliesler, Children’s Hospital Boston Missed signal: In allele 2, a mutation in a DNA enhancer for a blood-related gene (the red star) prevents a signaling transcription factor from binding to it. This prevents the signal from getting through, so the blood gene does not turn on optimally. Over time, failure to respond to the...
