Therapeutic effects from injection of stem cells are often hampered by acute donor cell death as well as migration away from damaged areas. This is likely due to the fact that injected cells do not have the physical and biochemical cues for ordered engrafment. Here we evaluate 3 common biomatrices (Matrigel, Collagen I, Purmatrix) that has the potential of providing suitable scaffolds needed to...

In this paper we consider a multi-cellular sensing and communication network, embedded in an ageless aerospace vehicle, that is expected to detect and react to impact location, intensity and damage over a wide range of impact energies. In particular, we investigate self-organisation of impact boundaries enclosing critically damaged areas, and measure their spatiotemporal robustness. The present...

s | 55 Conclusions: The Klüver–Bucy syndrome mostly occur after bilateral temporal lobe damage. It also results from disruption of pathways connecting between the dorsomedial thalami and other limbic areas which essential for cognitive functions, such as memory and regulation of impulses and emotions. In this case, it damaged the limbic system by involvement of bilateral basal ganglion, instead...

Through molecular mechanics we find that non-covalent interactions modify the fractality of crumpled damaged graphene. Pristine graphene membranes are damaged by adding random vacancies and carbon-hydrogen bonds. Crumpled membranes exhibit a fractal dimension of 2.71 ± 0.02 when all interactions between carbon atoms are considered, and 2.30 ± 0.05 when non-covalent interactions are suppressed. ...

We show the principal ability of bypassing damaged demyelinated portions of nervous tissue, thereby restoring its normal function for the passage of action potentials. We carry out a theoretical analysis on the basis of the synchronization mechanism of action potential propagation along a bundle of neurons, proposed recently in [1]. And we discuss the feasibility of implement a bypass to restor...
