 | Prosthetic hand devices used by wounded soldiers have limited motor
control and no sensory feedback. But a bioengineered interface,
developed at the University of Michigan and made of muscle cells and a
nano-sized polymer, could go a long way in creating prostheses that move
like a normal hand. Animal studies show the interface may possibly
restore a sense of touch. ...> Full Article |
Scientists at the Swedish medical university Karolinska Institutet and Linkoping University are well on the way to creating the first artificial nerve cell that can communicate specifically with nerve cells in the body using neurotransmitters. The technology has been published in an article in Nature Materials.
