MIT researchers have developed a soft, flexible, 3D printed neural implants that can conform to the contours of the brain. The implant can monitor neural activity over long periods of time, without aggravating surrounding tissue.
Researchers have optimized deep brain stimulation patterns with the help of a new computer algorithm, to help conserve energy and reduce the need for replacement batteries in those with DBS implants.
Researchers report they have created the first lab grown, contracting human muscles.
Making two different changes to a single messenger protein, researchers were able to inhibit lung cancer growth and promote neurogenesis.
Researchers have developed a new way of processing signals in cochlear implants to help users hear music better.
Researchers have succeeded in creating a new, bright red fluorescent protein which can be used to track essential cellular processes.
Researchers have rewired the neural circuits of one species and given its connections to a new species. The study answers a number of questions about evolution of neural circuits and behavior.
Researchers have successfully reduced some symptoms associated with fragile X syndrome in mice with the help of CRISPR-Cas 9 gene editing.
Researchers create a fully functional neuron using organic bioelectronics. The artificial neuron is able to mimic the function of human neurons.
New brain implant technologies could help bioengineers create a device which can withstand the physiological conditions in the brain on a long-term basis.
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.
Researchers have developed a new soft robotic hand with numerous embedded fiber optic sensors and a new type of stretchable optical sensor. They believe incorporating the stretchable optical material into the hand could help provide more feedback.
