How (not) to Bioprint an Organ

BIOENGINEERING SEMINAR Abstract: The promise of bioprinting organs whenever necessary has become a concept within our grasps. But only an handful of extracellular matrix proteins are available for printing and often from non-human sources and usually in a non-native state. Moreover, the Human Cell Atlas project is still in its infancy and the references for ... Read more about "How (not) to Bioprint an Organ"

Cortical neurons exhibit multiple history-dependent mechanisms such as refractoriness and spike-frequency adaptation. Neurons are embedded in highly recurrent networks, and the recurrent feedback is believed to play a key role in the generation of the irregular fluctuations that are observed in neuronal recordings. However, an understanding of how single-neuron mechanisms, such as adaptation, interact with ...
