TSCS alleviates #spasticity💡 Spasticity is common after a spinal cord injury. Out now in Cell Reports Medicine, researchers at MedUni Wien showed that transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation non-invasively reduces spasticity in SCI patients cell.com/cell-reports-m…



A new #stimulation protocol to treat spinal cord injury⚡ Out in Science Translational Medicine , researchers from Ospedale San Raffaele led by Simone Romeni Pietro Mortini and Silvestro Micera improved gait and reduced spasms in SCI patients combining EES with high and low frequencies science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Ultrasoft #organic electronics allows neural implants for pups 🐭 Implanting neural interfaces in developing organisms is no easy task. Researchers from UC Irvine and Columbia University led by Dion Khodagholy showed long-term cortical implantation in pups. Nature Communications nature.com/articles/s4146…


#Spatiotemporal cortical stimulation for realistic touch feeling👈 Out in Science Magazine, Giacomo Valle et al. from Chalmers University of Technology and UniversityofChicago pushed the limits of cortical microstimulation and produced realistic touch feeling in paralyzed subjects👏👏👏 science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

#Neurotech for insensitive feet 👣 Neuropathy leads to injuries. Out in Nature Communications, researchers at ETH Zurich led by noemi gozzi and Stanisa Raspopovic designed a smart garment that transmits pressure feeling to functional nerves. Info and more videos at nature.com/articles/s4146…

Soft, liquid-based #encapsulation across every pH 🧪 Out in Nature Communications, researchers at UConn and FLORIDA led by Aaron Mickle and Yi Zhang showcase an elastomer infused in oil that exhibits remarkable hermeticity in acid and basic environments. 👏 nature.com/articles/s4146…


Sticky hydrogels drug delivery and sensing in the #guts 💊 Long-term deployment of sensors in the guts is hard. Out in Science Translational Medicine, researchers from Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) led by Binbin Ying 应斌斌 and Giovanni Traverso developed a hydrogel that sticks to the stomach for a month 😎 science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…


#ASICs for high-channel-count spinal implants! ⚡ Current EES paddles are limited by electrode count. Out in JNE, researchers from Brown University built a 60-electrode paddle with embedded electronics, proving its reliability in 15-month in vivo tests. iopscience.iop.org/article/10.108…


High-res brain stimulation with #graphene microelectrodes✨ Effective chronic electrical stimulation is hard to pull out with small electrodes. Publishing in Nature Communications, researchers at Catalan Institute of Nanoscience & Nanotechnology showcase stable graphene microelectrodes for reliable DBS nature.com/articles/s4146…


Injectable, #bioresorbable temporary pacemakers ❤️🩹 Publishing in nature, researchers from Northwestern led by Yamin Zhang, Eric Rytkin, Igor Efimov, and John A Rogers show a tiny bioresorbable pacemaker activated with a light-emitting band-aid🙌 nature.com/articles/s4158…


Analyzing the skin's breath 🎈 The skin absorbs environmental gases and exhales volatile compounds. Publishing in nature, researchers at Northwestern led by John A Rogers proposed a device that measures gas in- and outflux from the skin👏 nature.com/articles/s4158…


Phononic gels for tissue #strain monitoring 🤸 Researchers from Huazhong University of Science and Technology showed wireless monitoring of internal tissue strain by shifting its ultrasonic bandgap during deformation. This tech could transform tendon rehab and wound care. article Nature Biomedical Engineering: nature.com/articles/s4155…


Creating the sensation of #sound in the brain, electrically🎵 Now out in Nature Biomedical Engineering, researchers at EPFL led by Stephanie P. Lacour developed a soft multichannel brainstem implant capable of eliciting specific auditory perception when placed on the auditory cortex nature.com/articles/s4155…


Wearables to measure gases from the #skin🎈 Skin gases represent a powerful, underestimated, biomarker. Engineers at University of Arizona and GutrufLab devised a wrist-worn comfortable device that traps and measures skin emissions (sweat, VOCs, CO2)🚀 Nature Communications: nature.com/articles/s4146…




Afferent electrical #stimulation reduces Essential Tremor⚡ Out in Brain Stimulation, researchers from UW–Madison investigated the reduction of tremor in PD subjects via TAPS, showing that alpha and beta bands in the VIM mediate the therapeutic effect. brainstimjrnl.com/article/S1935-…
