These images, adapted from the research paper, show that motor neurons in the spinal cord of an aged mouse (bottom) have fewer synaptic inputs than those in younger adults (top).
Therapeutic treatments are possible for age-related motor deficits and mobility loss
A 3D-printed “meta-bot” developed by UCLA engineers is capable of propulsion, movement, sensing and decision-making. It is manufactured all at once by a new type of 3D printing process for engineered active materials with multiple functions (also known as metamaterials).
