Vagus nerve stimulation primes platelets and reduces bleeding in hemophilia A male mice

Nature Communications, 2023
Deficiency of coagulation factor VIII in hemophilia A disrupts clotting and prolongs bleeding. While the current mainstay of therapy is infusion of factor VIII concentrates, inhibitor antibodies often render these ineffective.

Selective stimulation of the ferret abdominal vagus nerve with multi-contact nerve cuff electrodes

Scientific Reports, 2021
Dysfunction and diseases of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract are a major driver of medical care. The vagus nerve innervates and controls multiple organs of the GI tract and vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) could provide a means for affecting GI function and ...
