Cornell University researchers have developed a new implant system that could revolutionize treatment for people with type 1 diabetes. The device keeps transplanted insulin-producing cells alive by supplying them with oxygen—solving a major problem in cell therapy, where dense clusters
Oxygen-Generating Implant Offers New Hope for Type 1 Diabetes Treatment Read More »
Researchers at King’s College London, in collaboration with the Mayo Clinic and UNEEG Medical, have developed a small implantable device that can monitor epileptic seizures in real-world settings with far greater accuracy than traditional methods. The device, called a subcutaneous
Under-the-Skin Electrode Tracks Epileptic Seizures More Accurately Than Patient Diaries Read More »
A multidisciplinary team led by Seoul National University has developed a wireless, implantable device that delivers chemotherapy drugs directly into solid tumors—dramatically improving treatment effectiveness while avoiding harmful side effects. Traditional chemotherapy often struggles to penetrate dense tumor tissue, requiring
