Osteogain® loaded onto an absorbable collagen sponge
Osteogain® loaded onto an absorbable collagen sponge induces attachment and osteoblast differentiation of ST2 cells in vitro. Miron et al. RESULTS: ACS efficiently loaded nearly 100% of the amelogenin proteins found in Osteogain® which were gradually released up to a 10-day period. Osteogain® also significantly induced a 1.5-fold increase in...
Efficacy of restorative brain–computer interfaces
Investigating the impact of feedback update interval on the efficacy of restorative brain–computer interfaces Royal Society open science. 4:170660. https://dx.doi.org/10.1098/rsos.170660 Restorative brain–computer interfaces (BCIs) have been proposed to enhance stroke rehabilitation. Restorative BCIs are able to close the sensorimotor loop by rewarding motor imagery (MI) with sensory feedback. Despite the...
