Improving the body's tolerance to prosthetic implants
An international research team, including scientists from the Institut de Neurociències at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB), has developed a new solution to reduce the immune response triggered by neural prosthetics used after limb amputations or severe nerve injuries.
Biological tests have shown that this method reduces inflammatory signals in immune cells An international team with the participation of the Institute of Neurosciences of the Autonomous University of Barcelona (UAB) has found that a drug, dexamethasone, improves the tolerance of the body to prosthetic implants. This study, published in the journal Advanced Healthcare Materials, has been carried out by a research team of the Autonomous Universit…
Drug-Coated Neural Implants Reduce Immune Rejection
A new study shows that coating neural prosthetic implants with the anti-inflammatory drug dexamethasone helps reduce the body’s immune response and scar tissue formation. This strategy enhances the long-term performance and stability of electrodes used to connect prosthetic limbs to the nervous system.
