Human neurons (red) extend neural outgrowths across the 3D scaffold. Prabhas Moghe, Rutgers.
Bethesda, Maryland–(ENEWSPF)–March 17, 2016. National Institutes of Health-funded scientists have developed a 3D micro-scaffold technology that promotes reprogramming of stem cells into neurons, and supports growth of neuronal connections capable of transmitting electrical signals. The injection of these networks of functioning human neural cells – compared to injecting individual cells — dramatically improved their…
