by Duke University The ASCENT tool models how nerves can respond to electrical stimulation from custom electrodes. Nerve fibers appear in red and blue, and the custom electrodes appear in gray. The bottom graphic shows how the nerves appear when they are activated. Credit: Eric Musselman, Duke University Biomedical engineers at Duke University have developed an...
By Loz Blain March 18, 2021 The prototype neuro-motor wrist devices are already capable of reading electric impulses traveling down your arm at single-neuron accuracyFacebook Reality Labs When augmented reality hits the market at full strength, putting digital overlays over the physical world through transparent glasses, it will intertwine itself deeper into the fabric of...
by Ruhr-Universitaet-Bochum Magnetically, the nanoparticles found their way into the tips of the processes of nerve cells. Credit: Molekulare Neurobiochemie One reason why nerve damage in the brain cannot regenerate easily is that the neurites do not know in which direction they should grow. A team of researchers from Ruhr-Universität Bochum (RUB), Sorbonne University Paris, and the Technische...
by NYU Langone Health Electron microscopic image of a single human lymphocyte. Pancreatic cancer cells avert starvation by signaling to nerves, which grow into dense tumors and secrete nutrients. This is the finding of a study with experiments in cancer cells, mice, and human tissue samples published online November 2 in Cell. The study addresses pancreatic ductal...
INSERM (INSTITUT NATIONAL DE LA SANTÉ ET DE LA RECHERCHE MÉDICALE) Dry skin, pain, and itching… Atopic dermatitis affects the everyday lives of nearly 20% of children, and up to 5% of adults. The condition can have a significant impact on the quality of life of these patients. Several studies have shown that genetic factors are involved in...
Nuvaira is a treatment that involves inserting a thin tube into the airways A deflated balloon at the end of the tube is inflated once it is in the right position Tiny electrodes on the surface emit radio frequency where the faulty nerves are The temperatures reach 80 Celsius destroying nerves just beneath the surface Research suggests the hour-long treatment works...
