Brain implants, made from small clusters of brain cells, could help restore neural pathways damaged by Parkinson’s disease.

Brain implants that could help repair the pathways damaged by Parkinson’s disease are being developed by University of ...

Stop the Spread. Injecting saline into mouse kidneys did not affect the left or right substantia nigra (top). Injecting fibrils of α-synuclein ablated about half of the dopaminergic neurons (middle ...

A novel wireless photothermal DBS nanosystem uses nanoparticles to target and restore damaged neurons in Parkinson’s disease, ...

Using α-syn fibril-induced PD model, researchers aimed to restore the degenerated dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra of the midbrain by the wireless DBS nanosystem. After stereotactic ...

They also measured electrophysiological signals in midbrain organoids, demonstrating the versatility of the technology. Additionally, they monitored signal modulations induced by various drugs ...
