Tiny injected m-Torquers could magnetically treat Parkinson’s disease

Posted on by

The m-Torquers are nanoscale magnets tagged with antibodies which cause them to stick to neurons like these

When it comes to the treatment of severe Parkinson’s disease, electrical deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a commonly used technique. It does have some serious drawbacks, however, which is why scientists are now looking to tiny wirelessly activated magnets instead.

Lubricated coating could keep brain implants working longer

Posted on by

While brain-implanted electrodes do show promise for applications such as restoring capabilities to the disabled, they tend to lose their functionality over time. A new coating, however, could allow them to work much longer once implanted.Continue Read… Continue reading Lubricated coating could keep brain implants working longer→
