New “Biohybrid” Neural Implant Could Restore Function in Paralyzed Limbs

In a study carried out in rats, researchers from the University of Cambridge used the device to improve the connection between the brain and paralyzed limbs. The device combines flexible electronics and human stem cells – the body’s ‘reprogrammable’ master cells – to better integrate with the nerve and drive limb function.</p> Source: <a href="https://bit.ly/3lN9OkR">https://bit.ly/3lN9OkR</a>
