Millions of people suffering from multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's, muscular dystrophy, spinal cord injuries or amputees could soon interact with their computers and surroundings using just their eyes, thanks to a new device that costs less than £40 (~$63). Read More
Researchers have discovered clues to the development of the head at the cellular level, which could point scientists to a better understanding of how organs and birth defects form in humans. Read More
Known for successfully transplanting a bioengineered stem cell-based trachea, surgeon Paolo Macchiarini plans to use his technique to recreate more complex tissue. He has recently made attempts to regenerate brain tissue in rats and mice. Read More
Researchers were able to measure the speed of neuronal signal conduction along segments of single axons in neuronal cultures by using a high-resolution electrical method. Read More
New technology can rapidly halt or start the expression of genes by shining a light on the cells. Read More
Researchers develop a steerable needle robot which can penetrate the brain and suction away blood clots. Read More
New brain implant technologies could help bioengineers create a device which can withstand the physiological conditions in the brain on a long-term basis. Read More
Researchers have developed a new way of processing signals in cochlear implants to help users hear music better. Read More
Researchers created 3D brain-like tissue which functions like, and has similar structural features to, tissue in rat brains. Read More
Researchers at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory have been awarded an NIH grant to help develop an electrode array system which will help scientists better understand how the brain works. Read More
