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 ...

Researchers discovered that different types of neurons showed distinct patterns of 'syncing up' with electrical fields. These patterns varied depending on the rate at which the electrical stimulation ...

Precise electrical stimulation is essential for modern neural interfaces, but unwanted current spread often activates ...

Dr Sinead O'Rourke in the laboratory, Trinity College Dublin. Scientists from Trinity College Dublin have discovered that electrically stimulating “macrophages” – one of the immune systems key players ...

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 ...

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 ...

For people with paralysis or amputation, neuroprosthetic systems that artificially stimulate muscle contraction with electrical current can help them regain limb function. However, despite many years ...
