More on STEMEZ hN2 Primary Human Neurons

My company’s STEMEZTM hN2 Primary Human Neuron Discovery Kits have been a frequent topic on “News Behind the Neuroscience News”. My friends at Aruna Biomedical continue to broaden the capabilities of these Kits based on customer feedback.
I am seeing increasing demand for these cells as these capabilities are published. Here’s the latest:
A. Young, D.W. Machacek, S.K. [...]

Spinal Cord Injury Repair

I wanted to feature yet more research on spinal cord injury repair.
Dr. Mark Tuszynski and his team of researchers at USCD recently published work that tested their hypothesis that chemotropic mechanisms would guide regenerating spinal cord axons to appropriate brainstem targets.
Laura Taylor Alto, Leif A Havton, James M Conner, Edmund R Hollis II, Armin Blesch & [...]

Spinal Cord Injury and Substance-P

I have featured Dr. Matt Ramer  and his research on Spinal Cord Injury. The focus was sensory and autonomic neuron repair.
As an update, I would like to share a publication that references SCI and our Substance-P antibody. Here Dr. Paul Dolber et al. found Substance P detected immunohistochemically in the sacral parasympathetic nucleus was significantly [...]
