Biofunctionalised Electroconducting Microfibres for the Treatment of Spinal Cord Injury (Neurofibres)

Start date: Jan 1, 2017, End date: Dec 31, 2020,

Bio-electronic microsystems hold promise for repairing the damaged central nervous system (CNS). However, this potential has not been developed because their implantation inflicts additional neural injury, and ensuing inflammation and fibrosis compromise device functionality. In Neurofibres we want to achieve a breakthrough in “Neuroregenerative Bio-electronics”, developing dual-function devices t ...
