Cells tend to "talk" to each other through various means; chemically as well (autocrine and paracrine signals). #OhioState wants to use a nanochip with synthetic DNA, to take this conversation, and use it to repair broken bones. Cool stuff! spectrum.ieee.org/video/biomedic…
3D Printing a hydrogel as an implantable medical device? It can generate up to 100 Volts, and is paper thin (although they are working on getting it to the membrane level). Voltage is impractically low, but this is a good start to something new! spectrum.ieee.org/video/biomedic…
I was a HUGE fan of NEST when it originally had released, and now it seems that #WelchAllyn ( $HRC ) is working with Honeywell to make Patient Monitoring devices. They're starting with a wireless BP Monitor, but I'm really excited to see whats next! prnewswire.com/news-releases/…
