Chip Reprograms Cells to Regenerate Damaged Tissue
Researchers demonstrate a process known as tissue nanotransfection at the Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center. In laboratory tests, this process was able to heal the badly injured legs of mice in just three weeks with a single touch of this chip.
