The rise of 3D bioprinting advancements in modeling neurodegenerative diseases
Modeling neurodegenerative diseases: 3D bioprinting as a strategy for replicating the complexity of brain architecture. Recent findings have demonstrated that 3D bioprinting platforms can be exploited to recreate the complex neural pattern, giving the possibility of controlling cell density and scaffold stiffness.

Fiber counts and architecture of the human dorsal penile nerve
The human penis transmits behaviorally important sensory information via the dorsal penile nerve, which is required for initiation and maintenance of erection. The human penis differs from the penes of other hominids.

Neurotrophin-3-enhanced nerve regeneration selectively improves recovery of muscle fibers expressing myosin heavy chains 2b [PDF]
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of neurotrophin 3 (NT-3) enhanced nerve regeneration on the reinnervation of a target muscle. Muscle fibers can be classified according to their mechanical properties and myosin heavy chain (MHC ...

Nanomaterials for promoting axon regeneration after spinal cord injury: Mechanisms and prospects
The effects of clinical therapies for spinal cord injury (SCI) are greatly limited due to poor axon regeneration. This review systematically discusses the ability of nanomaterials (NMs) to treat SCI and the mechanism underlying their therapeutic effects. The properties of NMs that are conducive to axon regeneration after SCI are outlined.

Self-Supervised Representation Learning for Nerve Fiber Distribution Patterns in 3D-PLI [PDF]
A comprehensive understanding of the organizational principles in the human brain requires, among other factors, well-quantifiable descriptors of nerve fiber architecture. Three-dimensional polarized light imaging (3D-PLI) is a microscopic imaging technique that enables insights into the fine-grained organization of myelinated nerve fibers with high ...
