Research
to focus on devices to aid stroke victims, blind
Scientists from UCSC and two other institutions will collaborate on research into devices for overcoming blindness, paralysis, and stroke damage at the new Center for Biomimetic MicroElectronic Systems, a national Engineering Research Center based at USC. Developing prosthetic devices that interact with the nervous system requires a better understanding of astrocytes (shown here in green), the "helper cells" that play a critical role in development and maintenance of the nervous system.
