Nanoengineered Bioelectronic Systems for All-Optical Control of Neuron Growth and Stimulation

神经细胞是人体的主要信号载体。当它们停止正常运作时，我们的身体运作和感知物质世界的能力就会受到灾难性的影响。我们将开发一种新的生物电子系统，通过印刷巧妙的墨水，可以人工刺激神经细胞，而不需要侵入性金属电极或外部电源。这些新的科学进步将彻底改变神经细胞修复和神经系统疾病的治疗。

Nerve cells are the primary signal carriers of the human body. When they cease to function normally, our bodies ability to function and sense the physical world is influenced catastrophically. We will develop a new bioelectronic system made by printing clever inks that can artificially stimulate nerve cells without the typical requirements for invasive metal electrodes or external power. These new scientific advances will revolutionize nerve cell repair and treatment of neurological disorders.
