El Caviloso The Cavillous One Cavillus 20230317 There are glial cells in the human nose ██████ Hay células gliales en la nariz humana ██████ Sunt cellae glial in naso humano  There are glial cells in the human nose QUESTION: Is there glia in the human nose? ANSWER: Yes, the human nose contains different types of glial cells. Glial cells are non-neuronal cells that provide support and protection for neurons in the nervous system. In the olfactory system, which is responsible for our sense of smell, there are two types of glial cells: olfactory ensheathing cells (OECs) and sustentacular cells. OECs are a type of glial cell that are found in the olfactory nerve and bulb, which are located in the nasal cavity. These cells provide support for the olfactory neurons and help to guide their axons (long projections that transmit signals) to the brain. OECs have been studied for their potential therapeutic use in spinal cord injuries, as they have the ability to promote nerve regeneration. S...

The creation of functional spinal nerve tissue through 3D printing is still a long way from being a reality QUESTION: In order to restore bodily mobility to people whose spines have been severed—paraplegics, hemiplegics and quadriplegics—how is the creation, through 3D printing, of spinal nerve tissue progressing? Or is it a biomedical and engineering technique that does not yet exist? ANSWER: The creation of spinal nerve tissue through 3D printing is still in the early stages of development and is an area of active research. While there have been some promising results in the use of 3D printing for creating nerve tissue in the lab, creating functional spinal nerve tissue that can restore mobility to paralyzed individuals is a complex and challenging task that requires further research and development. One of the major challenges in creating spinal nerve tissue is the need to recreate the complex three-dimensional structure of the spinal cord, which contains many different types of cel...

El Caviloso  The Cavillous One Cavillus Medical science and biomedical technology and engineering are still far from restoring sight to blind people La ciencia médica y la tecnología e ingeniería biomédicas están aún lejos de devolver el sentido de la vista a las personas ciegas. QUESTION: In order to restore sight sense to blind people, how is 3D printing of optic nerve progressing, or those kinds of things do not exist yet? ANSWER: At present (20230317), 3D printing of optic nerves or other complex biological structures is not possible due to the complexity of these structures and the limitations of current 3D printing technology. While there have been some advances in the use of 3D printing for creating models of the eye and optic nerve for research and surgical planning purposes, these models do not contain living cells and cannot be used to restore vision to blind individuals. However, there are ongoing research efforts aimed at developing new treatments for blindness, such as...
