The research, by an international team from the Autonomous University of Madrid and the Technical University of Denmark, used 3D printing to create scaffolds for engineered flat brain organoids. The scaffolds allowed the brain organoid size to be significantly increased and after 20 days, self-generated folding was observed. Their results are published in the IOP Publishing journal
The work aims to address several of the shortcomings of existing brain organoids. One of the lead authors, Theresa Rothenbücher, said: The lack of vascularization leads to diffusion limitations for nutrients and oxygen, resulting in a necrotic tissue core for organoids larger than approximately 500 μm. In an attempt to solve this problem, brain organoids have been vascularized. While including endothelial cells in the culture system increases the complexity of the model, the generated vessel structures show no functionality (blood flow) in vitro. We are able to circumvent this issue by apply

Sense Diagnostics announces initiation of clinical trial to evaluate a non-invasive brain scanner to monitor intracranial hemorrhage
SENSE device uses low-power tailored radio frequency (RF) pulse to detect changes that may indicate expanding brain bleed
Current standard of care lacks a means to monitor brain injury continuously, non-invasively, in real time, between CT scans
CINCINNATI, OH - March 16, 2021 - Sense Diagnostics, a medical technology company focused on improving outcomes for stroke and brain injury patients, announced the initiation of a multicenter pivotal trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of a non-invasive brain scanner to monitor intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) in an acute hospital setting. The SENSE device is a headset equipped with antennae that transmit a low-power tailored radio frequency (RF) pulse across the brain and uses an algorithm to detect signal changes that may indicate an expansion in ICH.
Millions of people are administered general anesthesia each year in the United States alone, but it's not always easy to tell whether they are actually.

The number of people buying e-scooters for private use is rising in Brisbane, even as the number of trips being taken on shared e-scooters returns to pre-COVID levels.
Key points:
Patronage on shared Lime and Neuron e-scooters has returned to pre-COVID levels
Private sellers say the e-scooter market is increasingly busy
Brisbane City Council is developing a strategy to govern the use of both e-scooters and e-bikes citywide.
Director of iScoot Newstead Andre van der Merwe said his store, which launched in 2018, could sell between 10 and 20 e-scooters a day.
Actor and scientist Mayim Bialik will be the keynote speaker at Penn State Harrisburg’s “Full Steam Ahead: Women in STEAM” Symposium, being held virtually now through March 30.
