Nerve of a Nematode: Regenerating Our Senses

from Cruisin' on the Cutting Edge · host WF

CRUISERS! On this show, we are headed to Northeastern University in Boston to explore how researchers are advancing the field of neurosurgery as well as regeneration science. The use of Ytterbium doped fiber lasers allows us to cut deeper than any other lasers with the precision to slice single neurons at a time! The nematodes then reveal to us their power to regenerate their sliced cells through fluorescence.  Enjoy!
