Scientists are developing a laser-free method called electromechanical reshaping (EMR) that uses electricity and a platinum contact lens to reshape the cornea, potentially offering a safer, cheaper, and reversible alternative to LASIK, with promising animal study results but still years away from clinical use.
Researchers are developing an alternative to LASIK using electromechanical reshaping (EMR), a technique that reshapes the cornea without lasers or incisions, by altering tissue pH with electric potential. Early animal studies show promising results, including potential reversibility and fewer risks, but further research is needed before clinical application.
Researchers have developed a transparent skull implant that allows high-resolution brain imaging using functional ultrasound (fUSI). This non-invasive method enables precise monitoring of brain activity, potentially benefiting patients with neurological conditions and advancing brain research. The study, conducted by USC and Caltech, demonstrates the implant's effectiveness in a patient with a traumatic brain injury, suggesting new possibilities for patient monitoring and clinical research.
