Made of a polymer that has already been approved by the FDA for applications such as biodegradable sutures, InVivo's implant seems to undermine the biological ripple effect that leads to apoptosis, essentially by leading the body to believe that the damage is not that bad, which tones down the immune response and helps the healthier neural tissue survive and heal.

As part of an international research team, Jeff Donatelli, Peter Zwart and Kanupriya Pande of the Center for Advanced Mathematics for Energy Research Applications (CAMERA) at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) contributed key algorithms which helped achieve a goal first proposed more than 40 years ago — using angular correlations of X-ray snapshots from non-crystalline molecules to determine the 3D structure of important biological objects.
