Researchers from the Technical University of Denmark have developed a new type of brain implant designed to illuminate, listen, and deliver medication within the brain using a single, highly flexible device. The implant, known as the “microfluidic Axialtrode” or mAxialtrode,
Researchers at Pusan National University have developed a light activated tissue adhesive patch designed to rapidly and securely seal tears in the dura mater, the protective membrane surrounding the brain and spinal cord. Dural tears, whether accidental or intentional during
