What was once the stuff of science fiction is now becoming a reality: entire organs may soon be “healed” by simply touching a small chip.
A team of researchers from the Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center and Ohio State’s College of Engineering, both in Columbus, developed a groundbreaking technology that could soon restore almost any organ.
The device changes cell function in a non-invasive way. It relies on a type of nanotechnology called tissue nanotransfection, which can reprogram living adult cells into any other type of cell.
