Silicon Mesh for the Remote Modulation of Organ Electrical Activity

SUMMARY Electric organ stimulation has shown promise in the clinic for treating aberrant neurological and cardiac activity. Problematically, this approach is limited by the high risk associated with surgical or gene editing approaches to implant these stimulation systems. The inventors engineered a specifically doped silicone wire network on a flexible… Read More

Doped Silicon Nanowires for the Selective Modulation of Single-cells

SUMMARY Electric stimulation of organs with implantable devices has demonstrated clinical utility for the treatment of a variety of diseases such as cardiac arrythmia. However, use of these technologies remains high risk, requiring either surgical implantation or permanent gene editing. The inventors synthesized silicon nanowires that are doped with gold… Read More
