This one is crazy. Insane new technology
Little cell powered machines could heal the brain from the inside
Researchers developed a new technology called "Circulatronics" that merges living immune cells with sub cellular wireless electronic devices.
The electronic devices harvest light energy and are small enough to travel through the bloodstream, by hitching a ride on immune cells they can autonomously cross into inflamed brain regions without invasive surgery.
Once located at a target site, they wirelessly stimulate neurons with micrometre scale precision, demonstrated in mice.
This work could open the door to non surgical neuromodulation treatments for conditions like Alzheimer’s, multiple sclerosis, stroke, brain tumours and chronic pain.
