Human Nervous System‐Based Biohybrid Robot‐On‐A‐Chip with Sensing Function for Toxicity Screening

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Human nervous system‐based biohybrid robot‐on‐a chip with eye function as sensing system in addition to brain/motor neuron/muscle functions is proposed. Upon light stimulation, the eye assembloid generates electrophysiological signals, which are transmitted through the cerebral organoid and motor neuron spheroid, inducing muscle movement.

NEUROMUSCULAR DISEASE AND ANAESTHESIA

British Journal of Anaesthesia, 1974
Diseases affecting the neuromuscular system are numerous and not uncommon (for classification see Appendix). Almost all of the drugs used in anaesthesia have either a direct or an indirect effect on muscle, and so an understanding by anaesthetists of the neuromuscular diseases is essential in view of the universal requirement of muscle relaxation ...

Neuromuscular synaptic function in mice lacking major subsets of gangliosides [PDF]

, 2008
Gangliosides are a family of sialylated glycosphingolipids enriched in the outer leaflet of neuronal membranes, in particular at synapses. Therefore, they have been hypothesized to play a functional role in synaptic transmission.

Wearable Bioelectronics for Home‐Based Monitoring and Treatment of Muscle Atrophy

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
As an inevitable disease, muscle atrophy has received more attention. Because the factors that induce this disease are diverse, achieving a complete cure is still impossible. Wearable bioelectronics provides a more comfortable, low‐cost, and efficient way of home care for the monitoring and treatment of muscle atrophy. Therefore, this review summarizes

Preclinical common data elements for general pharmacological studies (pharmacokinetic sample collection, tolerability, and drug administration). A report of the TASK3‐WG1A General Pharmacology Working Group of the ILAE/AES Joint Translational Task Force

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract Growing concerns over rigor and reproducibility of preclinical studies, including consistency across laboratories and translation to clinical populations, have triggered efforts to harmonize methodologies. This includes the first set of preclinical common data elements (CDEs) for epilepsy research studies, as well as Case Report Forms (CRFs ...
