Multimodal transcriptomic atlases of mouse spinal cord injury

A spinal cord injury (SCI) triggers a cascade of molecular and cellular responses involving inflammatory cell infiltration and cytokine release, apoptosis, demyelination, excitotoxicity, ischemia, and the formation of a fibrotic scar surrounded by an astro ...

Digital reconstruction of the mammalian spinal cord: from anatomical reference volume to cell type atlas of the mouse spinal cord

Ihor Kuras

The spinal cord is an elongated nervous structure that together with the brain forms the central nervous system. It relays sensory and motor information between the brain and the body, thus controlling most somatic and autonomic body functions. In recent y ...

A rare condition: Spontaneous subarachnoid haemorrhage due to spinal hemangioblastoma: Report of 2 cases and review of the literature

Introduction. - Subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH), secondary to spinal hemangioblastoma (HBL), is extremely rare, with only a few case reports to date. We report the experience of our reference centre for spinal tumours and Von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) disease in ...

Identifying and Tracking Defects in Dynamic Supramolecular Polymers

Michele Ceriotti, Piero Gasparotto

A central paradigm of self-assembly is to create ordered structures starting from molecular monomers that spontaneously recognize and interact with each other via noncovalent interactions. In recent years, great efforts have been directed toward perfecting ...

Configuration of electrical spinal cord stimulation through real-time processing of gait kinematics

Grégoire Courtine, Jocelyne Bloch, Eduardo Martin Moraud, Tomislav Milekovic, Marco Capogrosso, Pavel Musienko, Nikolaus Wenger, Fabien Bertrand Paul Wagner, Jérôme Gandar, Polina Shkorbatova, Natalia Pavlova

Epidural electrical stimulation (EES) of the spinal cord and real-time processing of gait kinematics are powerful methods for the study of locomotion and the improvement of motor control after injury or in neurological disorders. Here, we describe equipmen ...

Fighting preterm birth with novel surgical tools and biomaterials engineering

Yannick Robert Devaud

With advances in fetal diagnosis and therapy, fetoscopy has become a good option to treat a series of life threatening diseases like twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome or severe congenital diaphragmatic hernia. The efficacy of fetoscopy for those types of d ...

Biodegradable scaffolds promote tissue remodeling and functional improvement in non-human primates with acute spinal cord injury

Grégoire Courtine, Isabel Laura Vollenweider

Tissue loss significantly reduces the potential for functional recovery after spinal cord injury. We previously showed that implantation of porous scaffolds composed of a biodegradable and biocompatible block copolymer of Poly-lactic-co-glycolic acid and P ...

The Human Central Pattern Generator for Locomotion: Does It Exist and Contribute to Walking?

Auke Ijspeert, Florin Dzeladini, Karen Minassian

The ability of dedicated spinal circuits, referred to as central pattern generators (CPGs), to produce the basic rhythm and neural activation patterns underlying locomotion can be demonstrated under specific experimental conditions in reduced animal prepar ...

Non-Destructive Examination Method for the ITER Toroidal Field Conductor Terminations

Pierluigi Bruzzone

An electric Non-Destructive examination method has been developed in order to inspect the ITER toroidal field (TF) terminations at room temperature and give an indication of the joint performance during manufacturing, thus reducing the risks related to hig ...

Average-atom interatomic potential for random alloys

William Curtin, Céline Varvenne

An average-atom (A-atom) embedded-atom-method potential for random multicomponent alloys at any composition is derived analytically and validated by comparing A-atom and true random alloys bulk and defect properties, in model Fe-Ni-Cr systems. The A-atom c ...
