Researchers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison have developed an injectable, flexible electrode that could replace rigid nerve-stimulating implants and reduce the cost of neuromodulation therapy. The researchers’s new type of electrode can be injected as a liquid and cure within the body. Traditional neuromodulation treatments require surgically implanted devices that can cost up to six […]

Revive Therapeutics, University of Wisconsin-Madison ink deal for cannabinoid drug delivery tech
Revive Therapeutics (OTC:RVVTF) said today that it inked a research agreement with the University of Wisconsin-Madison to develop a drug delivery technology for cannibinoids. The research program, led by Jess Reed, is slated to evaluate chitosan-tannin composite biomaterial as a delivery mechanism for cannabinoids. Therapeutic biomaterials made from a composite of chitosan and tannin include […]
Study: Plants as 3D scaffolds for stem cells in biomedical implants
Researchers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison are aiming to create novel biomedical implants using 3D scaffolds made from the decellularized husks of parsley, vanilla and orchids. The team described their work in an article published in Advanced Healthcare Materials. “Nature provides us with a tremendous reservoir of structures in plants,” lead author Gianluca Fontana said in […]
