Injectable Electronics: New System Holds Promise for Basic Neuroscience, Treatment of Neuor-Degenerative Diseases

June 10, 2015

(Nanotechnology Now) – A team of international researchers, led by Lieber, the Mark Hyman, Jr. Professor of Chemistry, an international team of researchers developed a method for fabricating nano-scale electronic scaffolds that can be injected via syringe. Once connected to electronic devices, the scaffolds can be used to monitor neural activity, stimulate tissues and even promote regenerations of neurons. The study is described in a June 8 paper in Nature Nanotechnology.
