In vivo electrochemical sensing based on implantable microelectrodes is a strong driving
force of analytical neurochemistry in brain. The complex and dynamic neurochemical …

Stem cells have the capacity to differentiate into various lineages, and the ability to reliably
direct stem cell fate determination would have tremendous potential for basic research and …

Tissue engineering is a clinically driven field and has emerged as a potential alternative to
organ transplantation. The cornerstone of successful tissue engineering rests upon two …

It is recorded that Théophile-Jules Pelouze first synthesized poly (lactic acid)(PLA) by
polycondensation of lactic acid in 1845. 1 In 1932, Wallace Hume Carothers et al …

Manipulating neural stem cell (NSC) fate is of great importance for improving the therapeutic
efficacy of NSCs to treat neurodegenerative disorders. Biophysical cues, in addition to …

The functionality of stem cells is tightly regulated by cues from the niche, comprising both
intrinsic and extrinsic cell signals. Besides chemical and growth factors, biophysical signals …

Various biophysical and biochemical factors are important for determining the fate of neural
stem cells (NSCs). Among biophysical signals, topographical stimulation by …

Progress made in the last two decades in chemical vapour deposition technology has
enabled the production of inexpensive, high-quality coatings made from diamond to become …

The biomechanical properties of the brain microenvironment, which is composed of different
neural cell types, the extracellular matrix, and blood vessels, are critical for normal brain …

Biophysical cues, such as topography, and electrical cues can provide external stimulation
for the promotion of stem cell neurogenesis. Here, we demonstrate an electroconductive …
