A multinational team of researchers is working on a potentially major innovation in spinal cord implants. The research paper is here.
This is not brand new information, but I learned about it only today from a medical doctor who is a friend of mine. I was so excited that I felt it was worth sharing this video, which summarizes the key facts in a concise and powerful way.
The other reason why I think it is worth sharing this is because it exemplifies innovation at its best, resulting from multidisciplinary excellence: " When implanting a material into the body, not only does it need the right functional properties, but it also needs to have mechanical properties that match the native tissue or organ. "
Mechanical engineers and medical doctors working together to make people walk again. This is great.
This is great! Modern medical science is on the verge on being able to transplant any and all organs and body appendages; this technology could be used to facilitate in the recovery process.
This is Exciting
Thx 4 Posting!!
Great information and progress!
Incredible !!!
This is just amazing! I can't wait to see the technological advancements over the next several decades. I feel like technology is exploding exponentially!
