When scientists applied electric current to human neural stem cells injected into rats’ brains, the cells moved toward the animals’ subventricular zone and lateral ventricle, instead of toward their ...

MIT researchers are using living cells to target diseased brain areas and deliver tiny electronic devices that can modulate ...

Stimulating muscle fibers with magnets causes them to grow in the same direction, aligning muscle cells within tissue, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and Boston University investigators ...

This illustration depicts a new platform for magnetic matrix actuation, enabling the study of how tissues respond to dynamic mechanical cues in their environment. Stimulating muscle fibers with ...

Scientists at Trinity College Dublin have discovered that electrically stimulating macrophages can “reprogram” them in such a way to reduce inflammation and encourage faster, more effective healing in ...
