Coherence Neuro, a startup with ties to Neuralink, tested a coin-sized brain implant in three patients during tumor removal surgery to detect and treat brain cancer via electrical stimulation, marking a step toward long-term use for glioblastoma.
Researchers at Penn State have developed a 3D-printed stretchable hydrogel implant called CaroFlex that wraps around arteries and lowers blood pressure via gentle electrical stimulation, achieving over 15% reduction in animal trials. The device offers a potential alternative for patients with drug-resistant hypertension.
