Medical devices implanted in muscular tissue work wonders to relieve chronic pain, rehabilitate muscles and control prosthetic limbs. However, traditional materials used to make the devices are hard to see on X-rays and CT scans. A new material developed at the MSU Polymer Engineering Lab provides high contrast on medical imaging for intramuscular implants, making implanted devices easier to locate and monitor.
MSU road safety research earns national award
Experts in road safety know that electronic speed feedback signs are helpful in getting drivers to slow down in road construction sites and that can help saves lives. National research recorded 850 fatalities and 42,084 injuries in work zones in 2024.
Research Spotlight: Chair with “sixth sense” prevents bedsores and helps hospitals save millions
People with limited mobility are at risk for pressure injuries (PI). PI are painful, costly, and unfortunately, common. They affect 2.5 million US patients annually and lead to infections that cause more than 60,000 deaths and $26.8B in costs to US hospitals.
