Immunolocalization of Laminin in Neoplasms of the Central and Peripheral Nervous Systems [PDF]
Laminin is a basement membrane glycoprotein that is expressed in vitro by immature and neoplastic astrocytes. The expression of laminin in vivo was examined immunohistochemically in normal adult brain and 90 neoplasms of the central and peripheral nervous systems.

Genetically engineered mouse models shed new light on the pathogenesis of neurofibromatosis type I-related neoplasms of the peripheral nervous system [PDF]
Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1), the most common genetic disorder affecting the human nervous system, is characterized by the development of multiple benign Schwann cell tumors in skin and large peripheral nerves. These neoplasms, which are termed dermal and plexiform neurofibromas respectively, have distinct clinical courses; of particular note ...

The diagnosis of a neurofibroma or a malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor (MPNST) often raises the question of whether the patient has the genetic disorder neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) as well as how this will impact the patient’s outcome, what their risk is for developing additional neoplasms and whether treatment options differ for NF1 ...

Biofabrication for neural tissue engineering applications [PDF]
Unlike other tissue types, the nervous tissue extends to a wide and complex environment that provides a plurality of different biochemical and topological stimuli which in turn define the functions of that tissue. As a consequence of such complexity, the traditional transplantation therapeutic methods are quite ineffective; therefore, the restoration ...

On the analysis of a time varying noise-modulated heterogeneous coupled network of Chialvo neurons under the influence of electromagnetic flux [PDF]
We perform a numerical study on the application of electromagnetic flux on a heterogeneous network of Chialvo neurons represented by a ring-star topology. Heterogeneities are realized by introducing additive noise modulations on both the central-peripheral and the peripheral-peripheral coupling links in the topology that not only vary in space but also

The Challenge of Cancer Genomics in Rare Nervous System Neoplasms [PDF]
Comprehensive genomic analyses of common nervous system cancers provide new insights into their pathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatment. Although analogous studies of rare nervous system tumors are needed, there are major barriers to performing such studies.

Bimanual proprioception: are two hands better than one? [PDF]
Information about the position of an object that is held in both hands, such as a golf club or a tennis racquet, is transmitted to the human central nervous system from peripheral sensors in both left and right arms. How does the brain combine these two sources of information?

Novel Advancements in Three-Dimensional Neural Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine [PDF]
Neurological diseases and injuries present some of the greatest challenges in modern medicine, often causing irreversible and lifelong burdens in the people whom they afflict. These diagnoses have devastating consequences on millions of people each year, and yet there are currently no therapies or interventions that can repair the structure of neural ...
