Growing up, my dad, Ray Thombs, was always my hero — and still is. I loved hearing stories of his first job washing dishes, or the pride he took in painting racing stripes on his 1972 VW Bug.

AbstractAging is a major risk factor in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and other adult-onset neurodegenerative disorders. Whereas young neurons are capable of buffering disease-causing stresses, mature neurons lose this ability and degenerate over time. We hypothesized that the resilience of young motor neurons could be restored by re-expression of the embryonic motor neuron selector transcription factors ISL1 and LHX3.

1. IntroductionMultifunctional flexible sensors are gaining more and more importance these days due to applications in the automotive, aerospace, bio, and structural health, marine, and energy sectors [1,2,3,4]. Strain sensors can be made from different materials like metals and polymers with different fillers. Polymers are intrinsically poor in electrical and thermal conductivity and require conductive fillers to enhance those properties for sensing applications.
