Muscat: Chinese researchers have developed smart "band-aids" for organs that are likely to make drug delivery more precise and efficient. A collaborative research team from Beihang University, Peking University, and other institutions has developed an electronic patch that acts as a band-aid for organs. According to Oman News Agency, the team integrated flexible electronics and micro-nano processing technologies to create the ultra-thin patch, which is as thin as a regular sheet of printed paper and can be attached directly to the surface of an organ. The patch's unique structure enables its wireless power supply. It can safely perforate cell membranes at a low voltage and, through the ultra-high electric field strength formed within the nano-pores. A professor at Beihang University's School of Biological and Medical Engineering, Chang Lingqian, stated, "It's like creating a highway for drug delivery." Chang further mentioned that the study has already been applied in medical aesthetics and skin trauma repa ir, and it holds great promise for future treatments of major health issues like cancer and trauma.
