MUMBAI, India, Jan. 23 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202511122287 A) filed by K. R. Mangalam University, Gurugram, Haryana, on Dec. 5, 2025, for 'bio-printed 3d conductive polymer scaffold for enhanced neural tissue regeneration.'

Inventor(s) include Dr. Hema Chaudhary; Dr Rishi Ranjan; Dr. Khalid Basir Mir; and Ms. Mamta Shankar.

The application for the patent was published on Jan. 23, under issue no. 04/2026.

According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "A bio-printed, three-dimensional scaffold made of a blend of biodegradable, electrically conductive polymers is used to regenerate nerve tissue. To encourage cells to infiltrate, align their axons, and diffuse their nutrients, the scaffold has a property variation along the vertical dimension, called gradient porosity. The implanted stimulation channels deliver strategic spark discharges to enhance neurite outgrowth and Schwann cell activity. The electro-conductive matrix allows for in situ stimulation and avoids the use of tethered, mechanical, and inflexible electrodes, making the scaffold a biocompatible and flexible platform for the stimulation of tissue repair. The invention is fully customizable to the end-user and is gradually resorbed after tissue repair, making the scaffold a pioneering and electroactive platform for cases of peripheral and central nerve injury."
