ACS Applied Materials and Interfaces, 2020 The formation of fluid-filled cystic cavity after spinal cord injury (SCI) is a major obstacle for neural regeneration. In this study, the post-SCI cavity was bridged by a functional self-assembling peptide (F-SAP) nanofiber hydrogel coupled with growth ...

The DREADDful Hurdles and Opportunities of the Chronic Chemogenetic Toolbox
Cells, 2022 The chronic character of chemogenetics has been put forward as one of the assets of the technique, particularly in comparison to optogenetics. Yet, the vast majority of chemogenetic studies have focused on acute applications, while repeated, long-term ...

Inner-ear abnormalities and their functional consequences in Belgian Waterslager canaries (Serinus canarius) [PDF]
, 1994 Recent reports of elevated auditory thresholds in canaries of the Belgian Waterslager strain have shown that this strain has an inherited auditory deficit in which absolute auditory thresholds at high frequencies (i.e. above 2.0 kHz) are as much as 40 dB

Planarian GSK3s are involved in neural regeneration [PDF]
Development Genes and Evolution, 2008 Glycogen synthase kinase-3 (GSK3) is a key element in several signaling cascades that is known to be involved in both patterning and neuronal organization. It is, therefore, a good candidate to play a role in neural regeneration in planarians. We report the characterization of three GSK3 genes in Schmidtea mediterranea. Phylogenetic analysis shows that

The Application of Brain Organoids in Assessing Neural Toxicity
Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2022 The human brain is a complicated and precisely organized organ. Exogenous chemicals, such as pollutants, drugs, and industrial chemicals, may affect the biological processes of the brain or its function and eventually lead to neurological diseases ...

Populus tremuloides seedling establishment: An underexplored vector for forest type conversion after multiple disturbances [PDF]
, 2017 Ecosystem resilience to climate change is contingent on post-disturbance plant regeneration. Sparse gymnosperm regeneration has been documented in subalpine forests following recent wildfires and compounded disturbances, both of which are increasing.
