Biodegradable chip targets spinal clots
An international team led by National Taiwan University has developed a biodegradable smart chip that monitors blood clot pressure forming after spinal surgeries. The chip relies on fibers made from a polymer embedded with lysine and generates electrical signals proportional to blood pressure, without needing an external power source. It can continuously detect pressure changes. Additionally, it contains the enzyme urokinase, which is released through ultrasound waves to dissolve clots by up to 70% in laboratory tests, aiding in early diagnosis and immediate treatment of potentially life-threatening clots.
