Scientists have discovered a new method to artificially control muscles using light, with the potential to restore function to muscles paralysed by conditions such as spinal cord injury and motor neuron disease. The technique developed by scientists at UCL and King's College London involves transplanting specially-designed motor neurons created from stem cells into injured nerve branches. In the study, the team demonstrated the method in mice in which ...Sunday 6 April 2014
Light may Help Artificially Control Muscles
Scientists have discovered a new method to artificially control muscles using light, with the potential to restore function to muscles paralysed by conditions such as spinal cord injury and motor neuron disease. The technique developed by scientists at UCL and King's College London involves transplanting specially-designed motor neurons created from stem cells into injured nerve branches.
