In the “NanoElect” project, novel neuroelectrons with customized surface properties are being developed and tested in porcine tissue cultures. The basis for this are conductive titanium dioxide nanotube scaffolds, which show high biocompatibility and a tendency to suppress glial scarring in the brain. Patents are to be filed and licensing prepared in the project.
