Neural implant smaller than a grain of salt can wirelessly track brain
Cornell University researchers and collaborators have developed a neural implant so small that it can rest on a grain of salt, yet it can wirelessly transmit brain activity data in a living animal for more than a year.
Turning on an immune pathway in tumors could lead to their destruction
MIT researchers show they can use messenger RNA to activate the pathway and trigger the immune system to attack tumors.
