The electronics inside your phone, your car, and every satellite currently orbiting Earth share one critical weakness: heat.

A team led by Prof. Bozhi Tian at the University of Chicago has built an implantable patch that borrows its core chemistry ...

Multiple research teams across materials science and bioelectronics have developed working prototypes that convert human ...

The bioinspired hydrogel combines electrical and biochemical signal control for the first time. It binds signaling factors that stimulate cell growth and can release them on demand using electrical ...

A new study from the University of Chicago taps an ingredient most often used in the lithium-ion batteries that power our ...

Scientists created a small implant that works like a living pharmacy, producing medicine inside the body using living cells.

Implanting living cells as long-term drug producers could transform treatment for numerous diseases, but it is difficult to house the tiny workers in quantities high enough to ensure dosage needs are ...

A multi-institutional team of scientists, co-led by Northwestern University, has taken a crucial step toward implantable "living pharmacies" - tiny devices containing engineered cells that ...

The data showed that roughly 65% of the cells in the oxygenated devices remained viable compared to roughly 20% in control devices.

By generating oxygen inside the implant, scientists significantly improved cell survival and sustained multi-drug delivery over 30 days.
