Flexible and biodegradable electronic blood vessels

Researchers have developed electronic blood vessels that can be actively tuned to address subtle changes in the body after implantation. The blood vessels -- made of a metal-polymer conductor membrane that's flexible and biodegradable -- mimic natural blood vessels, were conductive in in vitro experiments, and were able to effectively replace key arteries in rabbits.
