A challenge in current stem cell therapies for Parkinson's disease (PD) is controlling neuronal outgrowth from the substantia nigra towards the targeted area where connectivity is required in the striatum. Here we present progress towards controlling...

Controlling human platelet activation with calcium-binding nanoparticles (2020)
Journal Article

We introduce a neural method that is able to fuse concepts from a knowledge base with the context information for the task of grouping of aspect terms. Rather than only using context information, we use the corresponding concepts of aspect terms as a... Read More about Controlling human platelet activation with calcium-binding nanoparticles.

Nanoscale correlation of iron biochemistry with amyloid plaque morphology in Alzheimer’s disease transgenic mouse cortex (2017)
Journal Article

A signature characteristic of Alzheimer's disease (AD) is aggregation of amyloid-beta (Aß) fibrils in the brain. Nevertheless, the links between Aß and AD pathology remain incompletely understood. It has been proposed that neurotoxicity arising from... Read More about Nanoscale correlation of iron biochemistry with amyloid plaque morphology in Alzheimer’s disease transgenic mouse cortex.
