Neuroimmune Microenvironment Reprogramming via Immuno‐piezoelectric Transducers for Synergistic Stem Cell Therapy in Traumatic Brain Injury

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
A novel immuno‐piezoelectric transducer is innovatively developed. This device promotes neural stem cell (NSC) differentiation and maturation via ultrasound‐induced electrical stimulation and it amplifies the therapeutic efficacy of NSC in traumatic brain injury (TBI) by modulating the immune microenvironment. This piezoelectric transducer with “immune‐
