Chip Device Heals Injuries In Seconds

The device delivers genes to skin cells by passing a strong electrical current through the chip and transforming the cells.

In lab studies on mice, the tiny device has successfully reprogrammed and grown cells - healing injured parts of the body - from broken bones to brain damage.

According to Chandan Sen, Director of the Center for Regenerative Medicine and Cell-Based Therapies, its ability to heal goes beyond skin injuries - when tested on a mouse suffering from brain damage due to stroke - the device successfully treated the brain cells.
