Direct Ink Writing of Conductive Hydrogels
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.This review examines the use of direct ink writing (DIW) for fabricating conductive hydrogels with customizable 3D structures. It outlines the rheological requirements for successful DIW, followed by an exploration of the materials and ink formulations used to impart electronic and/or ionic conductivity to hydrogels while maintaining printability ...

Nerve regeneration factor promotes nerve regeneration in rat
Progress in Natural Science, 2006 Nerve regeneration factor (NRF) extracted from an oral liquid of traditional Chinese medicine, as a nerve growth decoction has been reported by previous studies to exert effects of promoting nerve growth and preventing neuron apoptosis. For new insights into the function of NRF on primary cultured neurons, we investigated the neurite outgrowth in ...

Transduction of an immortalized olfactory ensheathing glia cell line with the green fluorescent protein (GFP) gene: evaluation of its neuroregenerative capacity as a proof of concept [PDF]
Neurosci Lett. 2016. 612:25-31Olfactory ensheathing glia (OEG) cells are known to foster axonal regeneration of central nervous system (CNS) neurons. Several lines of reversibly immortalized human OEG (ihOEG) have been previously established that enabled to develop models for their validation in vitro and in vivo.

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Translation of recombinant spider silks as fillers for nerve guidance conduits in long‐segment nerve reconstruction demands a detailed examination of native counterparts. Thus, this study conducts a comprehensive analysis of the material properties of four phylogenetically diverse spider silks and their impact on Schwann cell adhesion, pinpointing key ...

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.This study introduces a conductive nerve guidance conduit integrated with wireless electrical stimulation through alternating magnetic fields, which induces currents and creates a supportive microenvironment for nerve regeneration. In vivo studies show that this approach significantly enhanced myelin restoration, gastrocnemius muscle regeneration ...

Liquid Metal as Connecting or Functional Recovery Channel for the Transected Sciatic Nerve [PDF]
arXiv, 2014 In this article, the liquid metal GaInSn alloy (67% Ga, 20.5% In, and 12.5% Sn by volume) is proposed for the first time to repair the peripheral neurotmesis as connecting or functional recovery channel. Such material owns a group of unique merits in many aspects, such as favorable fluidity, super compliance, high electrical conductivity, which are ...

Bioresorbable and Wireless Rechargeable Implanted Na‐ion Battery for Temporary Medical Devices
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.An all‐solid‐state bioresorbable Na‐ion battery is developed, composed entirely of bio‐eliminable materials. In vivo and ex vivo tests confirmed harmless disintegration of this implanted battery. Lifetime of the implanted battery can be precisely controlled by adjusting the dissolvable encapsulation layer's thickness.

Bioadhesive Graft-Antenna for Stimulation and Repair of Peripheral Nerves [PDF]
arXiv, 2018 Peripheral nerve injuries are difficult to treat due to limited axon regeneration; brief electrical stimulation of injured nerves is an emerging therapy that can relieve pain and enhance regeneration. We report an original wireless stimulator based on a metal loop (diameter ~1 mm) that is powered by a transcranial magnetic stimulator (TMS).
