 | 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.

 | Neuroscientists, brain surgeons, graduate students, rehabilitation specialists and neurologists are joining forces to develop new technology aimed at repairing and regenerating peripheral nerves that connect the brain, spinal cord, and the body. ...> Full Article |
 | Neuroscientists at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem have developed a novel approach for measuring and deciphering brain activity that holds out promise of providing improved movements of natural or artificial limbs by those who have been injured or paralyzed. ...> Full Article |
University of Manchester researchers have transformed fat tissue stem cells into nerve cells - and now plan to develop an artificial nerve that will bring damaged limbs and organs back to life.
