Neural Interfaces: Tissue‐Engineered Peripheral Nerve Interfaces (Adv. Funct. Mater. 12/2018)

摘要

In article number 1701713, Kevin J. Otto, Jack W. Judy, Christine E. Schmidt and co-workers review the latest in peripheral nerve interfaces, peripheral nerve tissue engineering, and the intersection of these fields to create regenerative peripheral nerve interfaces. With these devices, axons regenerate into a hydrogel-like environment that allows them to intimately interface with electrodes. This technology could ultimately be used to control robotic prostheses.
