MIT creates a chip that simulates the connection between nerves and muscle
In an attempt to better understand neuromuscular conditions like ALS, engineers at MIT have developed a quarter-sized chip housing a muscle strip and some motor neurons. The setup is designed to recreate the neuromuscular junction, the bit of chemical synapse where neurons and muscle fibers meet. The team has developed a method for creating muscle response by shining a light onto the neuron… Read MoreOriginal Link: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/3CRiZR0axJ4/
