Researchers report magnetoelectric microrobots for regenerating spinal cord injuries, published in Nature Materials.

Researchers developed NPC robots (neural progenitor cell robots) that used magnetic fields to generate piezoelectric stimulation, directing stem cells to differentiate and repair severed spinal cords in zebrafish within three days.

China has approved the world's first invasive brain-computer interface (BCI) product, NEO, developed by Neuracle Technology and Tsinghua University, for use in patients with paralysis from spinal cord injuries, marking a significant milestone in neurotechnology.

A paralyzed patient received the world's first brain-computer interface implant in a higher-functioning cortical region, enabling interpretation of intent and planning. The procedure aims to restore movement and sensory feedback, marking a significant milestone in neuroscience.
