High-resolution investigation of spinal cord and spine [PDF]
High-resolution non-invasive 3D study of intact spine and spinal cord morphology on the level of complex vascular and neuronal organization is a crucial issue for the development of treatments for the injuries and pathologies of central nervous system (CNS). X-ray phase contrast tomography enables high quality 3D visualization in ex-vivo mouse model of

Vertical Membrane‐Free Organ‐on‐a‐Chip for High‐Throughput In Vitro Studies and Drug Screening
This novel microfluidic organ‐on‐a‐chip (OoC) platform enables cost‐effective, high‐throughput in vitro modeling. With vertical compartmentalization and gravity‐driven flow, it eliminates porous membranes and external pumps. Successfully generating intestine, cartilage, and tendon models, this study demonstrates drug responses, including 5‐fluorouracil

Quantifying Performance of Bipedal Standing with Multi-channel EMG [PDF]
Spinal cord stimulation has enabled humans with motor complete spinal cord injury (SCI) to independently stand and recover some lost autonomic function. Quantifying the quality of bipedal standing under spinal stimulation is important for spinal rehabilitation therapies and for new strategies that seek to combine spinal stimulation and rehabilitative ...

Bridging spinal cord injuries [PDF]
One strategy for spinal cord injury repair is to make cellular bridges that support axon regeneration. However, the bridging cells often fail to integrate with host tissue and may lead to increased pain sensitivity. Recent work has tested bridging with two forms of progenitor-derived astrocyte.
