Scientists from the University of Liverpool with a tiny implant could increase bone density by 30% in rats.
Experimental techniques have shown that the implant, sending momentary impulses to the muscles, activates new bone growth near her. The team from Liverpool have implanted a miniature device in the leg muscles of the rat. Every 30 seconds, seconds the device allowed soft current to make muscles contract. In total this amounted to ten minutes a day. Short pulses, less than a thousandth of a second, don't cause any pain or discomfort. The results showed that after one month, bone volume increased by 30 percent.
Professor Tahir Masood (Tahir Masud): "This is an interesting area, and the results on rats are impressive. But you still have a lot of work to begin an effective treatment in humans".
