Implantable tech could cast new light on bladder cancer treatment
Published: 2 June 2026
Engineers and cancer scientists from the University of Glasgow are behind the development of a device using wirelessly-powered micro-LEDs to boost the delivery of light through tissue-mimicking models in the lab. The platform, developed by a team led by Professor David Flynn, is a first step towards a more precise, affordable and comfortable application of photodynamic therapy to treat bladder cancers in the years ahead.
