A new design for eye and brain implants draws its inspiration from nature. UO researchers have grown rodent retinal neurons on a fractal-patterned electrode, one that mimics the repeating branching pattern in which neurons naturally grow. It’s a step closer to making a bio-inspired bionic eye, a longstanding goal for UO […]
People worldwide are living longer. According to WHO, one in six people in the world will be aged 60 years or over by 2030. However, aging increases vulnerability to a wide range of human disorders, including cancers, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases and neurodegenerative diseases. Roughly two-thirds of the 150,000 people who die […]
Climate change is one of the most pressing issues of our times, one of the main consequences being rising sea levels. Beyond putting human civilization at risk, rising sea levels have heavily contributed to the near extinction of oyster-reefs. In fact, oyster-reef abundance has already declined ∼85% globally over the past […]
