Researchers explore essential cell behavior with crystal sensor

A team of scientists funded by the National Institutes of Health has developed a new tool to monitor under a microscope how cells attach to an adjacent substrate. Studying adhesion events can help researchers understand how tissues grow, how diseases spread, and how stem cells differentiate into more specific cell types. The method provides high-resolution Read more about Researchers explore essential cell behavior with crystal sensor[…]

A new predictive computer model could help optimize the recovery of stroke patients

After a stroke, patients typically have trouble walking and few are able to regain the gait they had before suffering a stroke. Researchers funded by the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB) have developed a computational walking model that could help guide patients to their best possible recovery after a stroke. Computational modeling Read more about A new predictive computer model could help optimize the recovery of stroke patients[…]
