Non-Scarring Brain Implants Revolutionize Neuroscience

Axoft, a Harvard-founded startup, is developing a soft, biocompatible neural probe that minimizes brain damage and scar tissue formation, enabling more accurate and long-term brain activity monitoring, especially for patients with traumatic brain injuries. The innovative device, made from a new material called Fleuron, can host thousands of sensors and is progressing through clinical trials with plans for FDA approval by 2028.
