Many chronic conditions — from high blood pressure to diabetes — are now understood to involve miscommunication within the nervous system. As a result, neuromodulation, a technique that uses gentle electrical signals to rebalance nerve activity, is emerging as a […]

Researchers at the Institut de Neurociències of the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona have developed a mussel‑inspired bioadhesive patch designed to eliminate glioblastoma cells, the most aggressive and prevalent form of brain tumor. The patch adheres strongly to wet brain tissue
Mussel‑Inspired Bioadhesive Patch Targets and Eliminates Glioblastoma Cells Read More »
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

Glioblastoma is one of the most aggressive brain cancers, with most patients dying within two years and only about 10 percent surviving five years. Surgery cannot remove all tumor cells because they infiltrate brain tissue, and most chemotherapy drugs cannot
Liquid Biopsy Chip Tracks Glioblastoma Treatment Success Read More »
Researchers at Lund University have developed a new electrotherapy approach that targets glioblastoma, the most aggressive form of brain cancer. The method uses injectable nanoparticles that self‑assemble into a conductive hydrogel inside the tumor. Once in place, the hydrogel acts
Electrotherapy Offers Hope for Glioblastoma Treatment Read More »
Researchers at the Tokyo Metropolitan Institute of Medical Science have shown that noninvasive spinal stimulation can help people with chronic spinal cord injury regain stepping movements. The system links signals from the hands to stimulation of the lumbar spine. When
