Advanced microsystems in traumatic brain injury research:Traumatic brain injury(TBI)results from a mechanical insult to the brain,leading to neuronal and axonal damage and subsequently causing a secondary injury.Withi...
Vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) in the arterial walls play important roles in regulating vascular contraction and dilation. VSMCs actively remodel the arterial walls and dedifferentiate from the contractile to th...
Nuclear DNA, which is essential for the transmission of genetic information, is constantly damaged by external stresses and is subsequently repaired by the removal of the damaged region, followed by resynthesis of the...
