Hydrafil, an experimental injectable hydrogel appears to be safe and effective in reducing chronic lower back pain associated with degenerative disc disease.
A new hydrogel that acts as a gateway to transfer stem cells into the brain and facilitate repair to damaged tissue may effectively treat neurological conditions like Parkinson's disease and stroke.
A newly developed reparative hydrogel, which researchers are dubbing "brain glue", protects against loss of brain tissue following a TBI and can aid in functional neural repair.
A newly designed "seeing eye mask" can capture pulse, eye movements, and sleep signals.
A newly developed peptide hydrogel could help repair some of the damage caused by a traumatic brain injury. In rat models, the hydrogel improved the survival of brain cells, resulting in twice as many neurons at the injury site than in the control rats with TBI. Researchers reported new blood vessels also grew.
A newly designed thread-like robot can deliver clot reducing therapies in response to stroke or other brain blockages.
