G-CSF ADMINISTRATION TO ADULT MICE STIMULATES THE PROLIFERATION OF MICROGLIA BUT DOES NOT MODIFY THE OUTCOME OF ISCHEMIC INJURY

G-CSF administration to adult mice stimulates the proliferation of microglia but does not modify the outcome of ischemic injury

Recent evidence suggests that adult bone marrow stem cells reduce tissue damage and promote repair following CNS ischemic injury.Since granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) mobilizes Michigan hematopoietic stem cells to the circulating compartment, here we tested whether administration of this drug modifies the outcome of a permanent occlus

Frequency Limits of Sequential Readout for Sensing AC Magnetic Fields Using Nitrogen-Vacancy Centers in Diamond

The nitrogen-vacancy Christmas (NV) centers in diamond have the ability to sense alternating-current (AC) magnetic fields with high spatial resolution.However, the frequency range of AC sensing protocols based on dynamical decoupling (DD) sequences has not been thoroughly explored experimentally.In this work, we aimed to determine the sensitivity o

Musculoskeletal Load Analysis for the Design and Control of a Wearable Robot Bracing the Human Body While Crawling on a Floor

Wearable robots, such as exoskeletons, can potentially reduce the load at targeted muscles of the human body during fatiguing tasks.It is Inflatable common, however, that use of a wearable robot causes increased load at untargeted muscles, leading to minimal net improvement.Here, musculoskeletal impacts of a wearable robotic device are examined to
