The $61 million ADAPTER initiative starts with the military, but technological spin-offs could one day help treat patients with chronic diseases.

July 6, 2021 By Deborah Borfitz July 6, 2021 | A trio of universities are putting their heads together to engineer a wirelessly controlled bioelectronic implant intended to help soldiers adapt to new time zones or drastic changes in their work schedules by releasing peptide-based therapies to harmonize their central and peripheral circadian clocks. The solicitation came from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and the timeline is ambitious, with a first-in-human safety study expected to begin by 2025, according to Jonathan Rivnay, principal investigator of the p...

autoevolution 17 May 2021, 9:01 UTC · by I am currently treating myself to a book series called Rise of the Republic (by James Rosone). It’s a science fiction series depicting a future when humanity is expanding its military reach into the neighboring solar systems with the help of warships designed by Musk Industries (the SpaceX of today) and Blue Origin. As it does this, humanity stumbles upon a very hostile alien species, galactic-empire-level, called Zodarks. 1 photo Tasked with fighting the Zordarks in space are the Musk- and Blue Origin-made spacecraft, but down on the surface ...

The user inputs a desired time shift (due to shift work or travel across time zones). Based on cues from the body’s physiology, the external hub detects the user’s circadian rhythm, and triggers the implant to produce precisely-dosed peptide therapies. Abstract: •Device will...

  Blackrock Microsystems, a privately held company that provides enabling tools for neuroscience, neural engineering and neuroprosthetics research worldwide partnered with a team of interdisciplinary researchers at Northwestern University, who signed a contract with the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) to develop a wireless, fully implantable device that can shift the body's circadian clock, halving the time it takes to recover from disrupted sleep/wake cycles. The device powers what will be considered a  "living pharmacy," a personalized implant that gives the body exactly...
