An electronic micropump to deliver treatments deep within the brain | Bioscience News - GEG Tech top picks | Scoop.it
For a condition such as epilepsy, it is essential to act at exactly the right time and place in the brain. For this reason, the team of researchers led by Christophe Bernard at Inserm Unit 1106, Institute of Systems Neuroscience, has developed an organic electronic micropump which, when combined with an anti-convulsant drug, enables localiZed inhibition of epileptic seizure in brain tissue in vitro. This research is published in the journal Advanced Materials.
