Using electric current and 3D mold, experts have realized how to twist and reshape the cartilage without any cuts. This could mean a real revolution and significantly shorten the recovery time after certain medical procedures.
According to a statement, experts have come up to this new discovery almost by accident. Earlier, one scientist in the team warmed the cartilage with infrared lasers. It was too expensive and often killed the tissue that was heated, so instead they tried to use electricity.
Certain success was observed in testing corneal corneal animals using 3D-printed contact lenses painted with electrodes and using corneal currents. This is particularly interesting because of the structure of collagen fibers.
No nerves and blood vessels. It is solid, rubber and made up of rigid collagen fibers coated with polymers. The study describes how the cartilage can bend after exposure to the electric current.
