Researchers at The Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research have shown that electrically stimulating the vagus nerve can reduce bleeding in preclinical hemophilic mice models – a finding that could translate into human patients.

Key Points: 
  • Researchers at The Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research have shown that electrically stimulating the vagus nerve can reduce bleeding in preclinical hemophilic mice models – a finding that could translate into human patients.
  • The study, published in Nature Communications , builds on years of research into harnessing the vagus nerve through electrical stimulation, a foundation of bioelectronic medicine.
  • (Feinstein Institutes)
    Led by Jared Huston, MD , associate professor of surgery and science education at the Donald and Barbara Zucker School of Medicine at Hofstra/Northwell and the Institute of Bioelectronic Medicine at the Feinstein Institutes, the research shows that vagus nerve stimulation reduces bleeding in hemophilia A mice to the same degree as replacing missing clotting factor – the current gold-standard therapy for patients living with hemophilia.
  • Huston’s new findings indicate it may be possible to stop life-threatening bleeding by stimulating the vagus nerve.”
    The Feinstein Institutes is known as the global scientific home of bioelectronic medicine because of early discoveries in its labs.

In new research, scientists at The Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research have shown the ability to reduce pancreatic inflammation by stimulating the vagus nerve using optogenetics, or light.

Key Points: 
  • In new research, scientists at The Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research have shown the ability to reduce pancreatic inflammation by stimulating the vagus nerve using optogenetics, or light.
  • After stimulating the neurons in the DMN, researchers observed significantly less severe pancreatitis – as noted by a reduction in pancreatic cytokines, inflammatory proteins, tissue damage, and other signs.
  • These results provide the first evidence that efferent vagus cholinergic neurons originating in the brainstem DMN can inhibit pancreatic inflammation and point to a potential therapeutic target.
  • At the Feinstein Institutes, medical researchers use modern technology to develop new device-based therapies to treat disease and injury.
