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 defines …

Adult neurogenesis was first observed nearly 60 years ago, and it has since grown into an
important neurochemistry research field. Much recent research has focused on the treatment …

The practice of combining external stimulation therapy alongside stimuli-responsive bio-
scaffolds has shown massive potential for tissue engineering applications. One promising …

The central nervous system (CNS) is the most important section of the nervous system as it
regulates the function of various organs. Injury to the CNS causes impairment of …

Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), a neurotrophin that binds specifically to the
tyrosine kinase B (TrkB) receptor, has been shown to promote neuronal differentiation …

Various artificial membranes have been used as scaffolds for retinal pigment epithelium
cells (RPE) for monolayer reconstruction, however, long-term cell viability and functionality …

Abstract “Are new neurons added in the adult mammalian brain?”“Do neural stem cells
activate following CNS diseases?”“How can we modulate their activation to promote …

Biomaterials are being utilized to engender biomimetic, pro-regenerative constructs in the
form of 3D scaffolds to augment functional neural tissue (brain tissue) repair and …

Background The complex pathophysiological events occurring after traumatic spinal cord
injuries (TSCI) make this devastating trauma still incurable. Peptide amphiphile (PA) …

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is common in both civilian and military life, placing a large
burden on survivors and society. However, with the recognition of neural stem cells in adult …
