U.S. Army researchers working in collaboration with the University of Chicago have developed a new technology called “living bioelectronics” that blends electronics and living cell tissue to help heal damaged skin.
Dr. Jiuyun Shi, co-author of the study, said of the breakthrough, “This is a bridge from traditional bioelectronics, which incorporates living cells as part of the therapy. We’re very excited because it’s been a decade and a half in the making,”

Scientists have announced the development of “living bioelectronics,” a revolutionary technology that could transform medical diagnostics and treatment.
The innovative approach combines living cells with electronic components to create devices capable of sensing and healing skin. The breakthrough, funded partly by the U.S. Army Research Office and spearheaded by researchers from the University of Chicago, represents a significant leap forward in integrating biology and electronics.
“This is a bridge from traditional bioelectronics, which incorporates living cells as part of the therapy,” Dr. Jiuyun Shi, co-author of the study and a former PhD student in Dr. Bozhi Tian’s lab at the University of Chicago, said in a press release.
The researchers, who published their findings in the journal Science, say they have been working for over a decade to achieve this milestone in living bioelectronics.
