Reconnects thedisconnected parts ofthe brain

Self assemblingnano peptidematerial

During a brain injury, neurons getdisconnected and impulses do not flow.

This material flows around the woundedges and seals the gap and providesan environment for the axons to gothrough the center of the cut

These are single-walled

carbon nanotubes whichpick up impulses withinmillions of neurons.

Sends them to a computerwhich analyses the patternand strength of the signalto move the robotic arm

Parkinson's diseaseis a degenerativedisorder of the centralnervous system inwhich control over the

body movements islost .

Inject moleculesthat are designedto self-assembleinto

nanostructures inthe spinal tissue,to rescue andregrow rapidlydamaged neurons.

The nanofibers thousandsof times thinner than ahuman hair not only preventthe formation of harmful

scar tissue which inhibitsspinal cord healing, but alsostimulate the body into

regeneratinglost or damaged cells

It is a progressivedegeneration of brain tissue.Intellectual functions such as

memory, comprehension andspeech deteriorate.

Nerve fibres grow tangled(neurofibrillary tangles)

protein deposits known asplaques build up in the brain
