Stem Cells Myelinate Human Brain

In a Phase I trial, researchers show that neural stem cells transplanted into humans can differentiate and begin producing myelin. Neural stem cells transplanted into the brains of people with Pelizaeus-Merzbacher disease (PMD) can differentiate and begin producing the myelin sheaths that these patients lack, according to results of a Phase I clinical trial published today (October 10) in Science Translational Me… → Read More

The Solar Tracking System by Using Digital Solar Position Sensor

The phototransistor with the shade that blocks the screen was employed as a detector of solar beam radiation. The height of the screen determined the sensitivity operation or period of tracking in this solar tracker. The phototransistor is particularly designed to detect solar bean radiation thoroughly through the two axes with the operating time. The mechanism of this solar tracker is that it has a capacity of solar… → Read More
