Thermal Processing Creates Water‐Stable PEDOT:PSS Films for Bioelectronics

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, Volume 37, Issue 13, April 2, 2025.
Instead of using chemical cross–linkers, it is shown that PEDOT:PSS thin films for bioelectronics become water‐stable after a simple heat treatment. The heat treatment is compatible with a range of rigid and elastomeric substrates and films are stable in vivo for >20 days.

Spinal cord contusion

open access: yesNeural Regeneration Research, 2014
Spinal cord injury is a major cause of disability with devastating neurological outcomes and limited therapeutic opportunities, even though there are thousands of publications on spinal cord injury annually. There are two major types of spinal cord injury, transaction of the spinal cord and spinal cord contusion.

Bio‐Inspired Artificial Muscle‐Tendon Complex of Liquid Crystal Elastomer for Bidirectional Afferent‐Efferent Signaling

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
The Muscle–tendon complex (MTC)‐inspired Liquid crystal elastomer (LCE) artificial muscle integrates actuation (efferent) and proprioceptive sensing (afferent) by combining contractile nematic and elastic isotropic LCEs within a single soft structure. Embedded liquid metal channels enable simultaneous Joule heating and real‐time sensing of length and ...

Optimizing transcutaneous spinal stimulation: excitability of evoked spinal reflexes is dependent on electrode montage

open access: yesJournal of NeuroEngineering and Rehabilitation
Background There is growing interest in use of transcutaneous spinal stimulation (TSS) for people with neurologic conditions both to augment volitional control (by facilitating motoneuron excitability), and to decrease spasticity (by activating ...

Ultrasonic distance detection for a closed-loop spinal cord stimulation system [PDF]

open access: yes, 1997
When stimulating the spinal cord at a constant strength, the current density in the spinal cord and thus the effects on chronic, intractable pain and vascular insufficiency will change with body position, due to the varying separation of the spinal cord ...

Carbon Quantum Dots Assisted Virus Tracking: From Skin to Brain

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
A novel carbon quantum dots‐dissolvable microneedle, CQDs‐dMN system, enables painless delivery and real‐time tracking of HSV‐1. The HSV‐1 is labeled with fluorescent CQDs and delivered to the skin dermis, minimizing damage compared to traditional methods.

Epidural Stimulation Induced Modulation of Spinal Locomotor Networks in Adult Spinal Rats [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
The importance of the in vivo dynamic nature of the circuitries within the spinal cord that generate locomotion is becoming increasingly evident. We examined the characteristics of hindlimb EMG activity evoked in response to epidural stimulation at the ...
