Implantable living pharmacy will halve jet lag recovery time

Implantable living pharmacy will halve jet lag recovery time Ian Randall For Mailonline © Provided by Daily Mail MailOnline logo An implantable living pharmacy that may be able to halve the time it takes to recover from jet lag is being developed by researchers from Illinois. Northwestern University experts have signed a $33 million (£23.3 million) contract with the US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency to develop the device. Combining synthetic biology with electronics, the implant would contain engineered cells which produce the same peptides the body uses to regulate sleep/wake cycles. When triggered wirelessly by an external hub, the device would use light to trigger the cellular production of precise peptide doses to adjust the user s body clock.

Health: Implantable living pharmacy will halve jet lag recovery time

The implant is being developed by a team led from Northwestern University It will contain engineered cells that produce peptides when stimulated by light These same peptides are used within the body to regulate sleep/wake cycles  Triggered wirelessly, the device could release precise doses to combat jet lag  US military agency DARPA is funding the project to the tune of $33 million Beyond travellers, other potential users could include workers on varying shifts 

Smartphone-controlled implant the size of a pinky finger could cure jetlag

Insomnia and sluggishness from shift work could be a thing of the past 22 May 2021 • 10:00am Business travellers may one day be able to eliminate jet lag by simply tapping on a smartphone app which is connected to an under-skin implant that can manipulate their sleep pattern.  Researchers at Northwestern University, Illinois have been handed $33m (£23.2m) from the US Defence Department s Defence Advanced Research Projects Agency (Darpa) to make the technology a reality.  The researchers plan to build a bio-electronic device the size of a pinky finger that can alter the wearer s circadian rhythm.  Using an app, wearers can adjust the system  so it can recalibrate their circadian rhythm accordingly. This could mean adjustments if they are travelling to a different time zone, or if there is an eight hour shift in their working hours. 

Nanotechnology Now - Press Release: Implantable living pharmacy could control body s sleep/wake cycles: Project receives DARPA contract worth up to $33 million over 4 1/2 years

Nanotechnology Now Our NanoNews Digest Sponsors Home > Press > Implantable living pharmacy could control body s sleep/wake cycles: Project receives DARPA contract worth up to $33 million over 4 1/2 years In this artistic illustration, a user with an NTRAIN implant and its accompanying external hub works in the field. 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 harness the same peptides the body makes to regulate sleep cycles
