Targeting Ischemic Stroke with Neural Stem Cells: Insights into Endogenous Repair Mechanisms, Biomaterial-Based Delivery, and Exosome Therapies.

Molecular neurobiology
Neurological diseases, such as stroke, are typically deemed refractory because of the adult mammalian brain's poor ability to self-repair and regenerate, resulting in irreparable cellular damage. Neural stem cells (NSCs) have distinct capabilities to...

Neural network tissue and myocytes co-culture system reveals effects of different myocytes on postnatal development of spinal cord neural network.

Cellular and molecular life sciences : CMLS
The interaction between spinal cord neural networks and myocytes in postnatal mammals plays a crucial role in development, and the neural regulation of motor and visceral functions. Here, spinal cord neural network tissue (SC-NNT) was constructed wit...

Piezo-Nanowired Stem Cells: Ultrasound-Powered Neuronal Commitment for Rapid Neural Circuit Reconstruction after Traumatic Brain Injury.

ACS nano
The inherently constrained regenerative capacity of neuronal tissue poses a major obstacle to repairing traumatic brain injury. While neural stem cell transplantation holds promise, its efficacy is constrained by slow and inefficient neuronal differe...

Computer Vision-Assisted Data Analysis for Correlative Electron Microscopy and Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry Imaging.

Analytical chemistry
Correlative imaging is a powerful analytical approach in bioimaging, as it offers complementary information on the samples measured by different modalities. Particularly, correlative transmission electron microscopy (EM) and nanoscale secondary ion m...

Neural xenografts contribute to long-term recovery in stroke via molecular graft-host crosstalk.

Nature communications
Stroke remains a leading cause of disability due to the brain's limited ability to regenerate damaged neural circuits. Here, we show that local transplantation of iPSC-derived neural progenitor cells (NPCs) improves brain repair and long-term functio...

Nanoparticle-Mediated Regulation of Intracellular Ferric Ions to Induce Motor Neuron Differentiation for Spinal Cord Injury Repair.

ACS nano
Stem cell therapy is a prospective approach to the treatment of spinal cord injury (SCI), which features grievous harm of motor and sensory functions. However, the proportion of motor neurons spontaneously differentiated from neural stem cells (NSCs)...

Human iPSC-derived spinal neural progenitors enhance sensorimotor recovery in spinal cord-injured NOD-SCID mice via differentiation and microenvironment regulation.

Cell death & disease
Spinal cord injury (SCI) remains a significant clinical challenge and poses a dramatic threat to the life quality of patients due to limited neural regeneration and detrimental post-injury alternations in tissue microenvironment. We developed a thera...

Identification of proliferating neural progenitors in the adult human hippocampus.

Science (New York, N.Y.)
Continuous adult hippocampal neurogenesis is involved in memory formation and mood regulation but is challenging to study in humans. Difficulties finding proliferating progenitor cells called into question whether and how new neurons may be generated...

Generation of Interconnected Neural Clusters in Multiscale Scaffolds from Human-Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells.

ACS applied materials & interfaces
The development of in vitro neural networks depends to a large extent on the scaffold properties, including the scaffold stiffness, porosity, and dimensionality. Herein, we developed a method to generate interconnected neural clusters in a multiscale...

Establishment of a 13 genes-based molecular prediction score model to discriminate the neurotoxic potential of food relevant-chemicals.

Toxicology letters
Although many neurotoxicity prediction studies of food additives have been developed, they are applicable in a qualitative way. We aimed to develop a novel prediction score that is described quantitatively and precisely. We examined cell viability, r...
