Inducing self-repair in the central nervous system – a first step

Injured axons instruct Schwann cells to build specialized actin spheres to break down and remove axon fragments, thereby starting the regeneration process Damaged peripheral nerves can regenerate after an injury, for example, following a forearm fracture. Axons, the long projections of neurons that transmit stimuli or signals to other cells, are affected in the case

An continuous power source for future implantable technologies?

Using ion gradients across hydrogels, researchers developed a “soft power” source that they hope can one day power implantable devices. In an effort to create a power source for future implantable technologies, a team led by Michael Mayer from the University of Fribourg, along with researchers from the University of Michigan and UC San Diego,

Eel-inspired power cells are flexible and transparent

Inspired by the electric eel, a flexible, transparent electrical device could lead to body-friendly power sources for implanted health monitors and medication dispensers, augmented-reality contact lenses and countless other applications. The soft cells are made of hydrogel and salt, and they form the first potentially biocompatible artificial electric organ that generates more than 100 volts.

Heal thyself: Rubbery polymer self-repairs under light exposure

What if mending a ripped garment, or repairing a leaky storage container, was as easy as shining a light on the damage? We’re not there yet, but such materials could be possible in the future—researchers have now demonstrated a new way to produce light-healed polymers. In the April 21 issue of Nature, a group from Case
