New materials could lead to implantable treatments for epilepsy
Published: 30 June 2023
Bioengineering researchers from JWSE have investigated new dissolvable coatings which could help safely guide flexible implants into brains to help regulate temporal lobe epilepsy. The development of the material, outlined in an early-view paper in the journal Advanced Nanobiomed Research, is part of an European-funded collaboration which aims to tackle epilepsy by treating and regenerating damaged brain tissue.
