Great progress has been made over the past 40 years in understanding the hazards of
exposure to a small number of developmental neurotoxicants. Lead, polychlorinated …

Coaxial electrospinning is an explicit method for encapsulation of protein drugs, and the
process could preserve the bioactivity of the molecules. In this study, coaxial electrospinning …

Objective Recently, our laboratory identified sensory innervation within head and neck
squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCCs) and subsequently defined a mechanism whereby …

The (developmental) neurotoxicity hazard is still unknown for most chemicals. Establishing a
test battery covering most of the relevant adverse outcome pathways may close this gap …

Extracellular matrix contains an abundant variety of signals that are received by cell surface
receptors contributing to cell fate, via regulation of cellular activities such as proliferation …

Peripheral nerve injuries cause devastating problems for the quality of patients' lives, and
regeneration following damage to the peripheral nervous system is limited depending on the …

Background Assembly and disassembly of microtubules (MTs) is critical for neurite
outgrowth and differentiation. Evidence suggests that nerve growth factor (NGF) induces …

The potential for adverse neurotoxic reactions in response to therapeutics and
environmental hazards continues to prompt development of novel cell-based assays to …

Background: Psoralea corylifolia (PC) seed extract (PCE) has been extensively utilized as
an herbal drug due to its favorable effects on human health. It's extracts and active …

In neural tissue engineering, the use of electrical stimulation has been proposed to cure
patients with damaged nervous systems. Electrical stimulation can promote nerve cell …
