Innovative silicon nanochip can reprogram biological tissue in living body

Science Daily  December 10, 2021 A team of researchers in the US (Indiana University, Purdue University, industry, Veterans Administration Medical Center, University of Chicago) has developed a silicon device that can change skin tissue into blood vessels and nerve cells has advanced from prototype to standardized fabrication. The technology, called tissue nano transfection, is a non-invasive nanochip device that can reprogram tissue function by applying a harmless electric spark to deliver specific genes in a fraction of a second. The nanofabrication process typically takes five to six days, and in vivo takes 30 min. In laboratory studies, the device successfully […]
