Origin of sample size effect: Stochastic dislocation formation in crystalline metals at small scales.

abstract：:Nociceptive neurons play an essential role in pain sensation by transmitting painful stimuli to the central nervous system. However, investigations of nociceptive neuron biology have been hampered by the lack of accessibility of human nociceptive neurons. Here, we describe a system for efficiently guiding human embryo...
