Soft polymer nerve cuff tested by Imperial and EPFL, using Advent PTFE-insulated silver wires
Using Advent's 125 μm diameter PTFE insulated silver wire, a collaborative team from Imperial College London and EPFL has developed a new soft nerve cuff that could change how clinicians restore movement and sensation after nerve injury.

Case study: Platinum electrodes for cardiac tissue pacing in engineered human heart models
Cardiotoxicity remains a key challenge in cancer treatment, particularly for anthracycline therapies such as doxorubicin. Seeking better ways to study these side-effects, a Dutch research consortium has developed engineered human heart tissues that allow contractile strength to be measured at high resolution under controlled conditions.

Stainless Steel Electrodes from Advent in Hippocampal Plasticity and Schizophrenia Research
Stainless steel stimulating electrodes from Advent Research Materials were used to probe hippocampal synaptic plasticity and network dynamics in a sub‑chronic PCP rat model of NMDA receptor hypofunction, linking in vivo CA3–CA1 LTP deficits and theta–gamma coupling changes to cognitive impairment and partial rescue by exercise.
