iPS-derived cells help recover rat's motor function

Osaka City University Hospital lecturer Takuya Uemura shows tubular "artificial nerves" at a press conference in Osaka, western Japan, on Feb. 20, 2015. A hospital team successfully recovered a rat's motor function after implanting in the rat about four million induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells contained in such a body-absorbable artificial nerve structure.

          A model demonstrates during a press event on March 16, 2015, in Suita, Osaka Prefecture, western Japan, how a head-mounted display device developed by a team of researchers from Osaka University and the University of Tokyo enables the wearer to experience the world as seen by people with autism spectrum disorder. An example of the computer-processed visual image simulating abnormal perception in the disorder is projected on the screen in the background, shown with small dots in white and other colors.
