New ultrasound tech could be used to 3D-print implants inside the body
By Ben Coxworth A solidified sono-ink structure (red) printed inside a heart modelAlex Sanchez, Duke University; Junjie Yao, Duke University; Y. Shrike Zhang, Harvard Medical School In order to keep surgeries minimally invasive, it would be great if implants could be injected into the body in liquid form, then solidified once in place. Well, a new...

Researcher combines AI and microelectronics to create neural implants that fight brain disorders
by Matthew Tierney, University of Toronto Xilin Liu tests signal integrity of a prototype neural implant, which can be used to activate a neuromodulation therapy that helps manage symptoms of brain disorders. Credit: Matthew Tierney Neural implants can help treat brain disorders such as Parkinson’s disease and epilepsy by directly modulating abnormal activities—and the University of...

Team developing implants to heal heart attack injuries
The inventors of Rice University’s tiny, cancer-killing “drug factory” implants are teaming with Baylor College of Medicine surgeons to create a version of the technology that can heal injuries caused by heart attacks. Someone has a heart attack every 40 seconds in the United States. An artery that supplies blood to the heart becomes blocked, and heart...
