Lab-grown 3D nerve cell network may help understand human brain: Study

Image
Research have engineered biohybrid nerve tissue -- containing both living cells and non-living components -- to develop 3D models of neural networks , an advance that may lead to better understanding of how the brain works. The researchers, including Gelson Pagan-Diaz from the University of Illinois in the US, said the produced tissue is similar to a computer processing unit, which provided the basic principle to today's supercomputers. The study, published in the journal PNAS, noted that the 3D tissue , consisting of neurons, can provide the ability to develop tissue models for drug screening, or processing units for biological computers. The researchers said using a 3D model of these networks outside the body may offer researchers a new tool to understand how these connections work. These models, they said, can help shed light on how abnormalities form such as what gives rise to diseases such as Alzheimer's. According to the researchers, the 3D tissues can be

Steps to treat your sagging skin

Image
As you start ageing, skin may begin to sag as a consequence of a natural loss and weakening of collagen and elastin. However keeping in mind a few basic steps can help you in getting rid of the sagging skin . Neeleshwari Basak, owner of Worldwide Institute of Grooming and Pageants , and Arpita Das, Managing Director of Beauness By Arpita, list some steps. Smart SPF: UV damage speeds up the loss of firmness of the skin, therefore wearing a moisturizer with a broad spectrum sunscreen on a daily basis is the easiest way to help prevent sagging. Moisturize smartly: It is highly recommended to apply a moisturizer with vitamins C and E both morning and night to your face and neck. Moisturizing is important to keep the skin firm and smooth as you age. While selecting the right moisturizer, look for ingredients like Aloe Vera , soy protein, Vitamin C, Vitamin E, and Vitamin A. Need extra effort: To improve the appearance of the skin that is already slightly saggy, y
