Using robotic testing to spot overlooked sensory deficits in stroke survivors
A decade ago, at age 55, Don Lewis suffered a stroke in his sleep. When he woke up, he couldn’t move his left arm or leg. Lewis’s neighbor realized his truck hadn’t moved in two days and called 911 for a welfare check. When paramedics found him, he was paralyzed on one side.
Heart rate monitor can improve PTSD and chronic pain symptoms
A new study led by researchers from Murdoch University’s School of Psychology, Personalized Medicine Center, and Center for Healthy Aging, Health Futures Institute has found that heart rate variability biofeedback can significantly reduce symptoms of both PTSD and chronic pain—two conditions that frequently co-occur and are notoriously difficult to treat together.
Micropores enhance organ-on-chip models for studying hidden infections
A new study provides a powerful way to study infections in environments that closely mimic human organs.
Bone marrow model built entirely from human cells can reduce animal testing
Our body’s “blood factory” consists of specialized tissue made up of bone cells, blood vessels, nerves and other cell types. Now, researchers have succeeded for the first time in recreating this cellular complexity in the laboratory using only human cells. The novel system could reduce the need for animal experiments for many applications.
