A Century of Science in Agriculture: Lessons for Science Policy [PDF]

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, 1986
Today all of science seems to be in some political and policy difficulty. There is rising conflict over the funding for and the performance of science. In the agricultural sciences there has been a crescendo of external criticism in Congress and elsewhere ever since the National Academy of Sciences "Pound Report" in 1972 (National Academy of Sciences).

A 3D Human Neuron‐on‐Chip Platform to Monitor Neuronal Injury Responses

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This study presents a novel 3D Neuron‐on‐Chip model that can maintain human PSC‐derived excitatory prefrontal cortex neurons in 3D hydrogels and can be used to monitor neuronal injury responses over time. Results show injury‐induced acute neuronal excitotoxicity, declining neuronal connectivity, and the activation of a neurodegenerative, SASP‐like ...
