Gold nanograin microelectrodes for neuroelectronic interfaces.
Neuroelectronic interfaces are imperative in investigating neural tissues as electrical signals are the main information carriers in the nervous system and metal microelectrodes have been widely used for recording and stimulation of nerve cells. For high performance microelectrodes, low tissue-electrode interfacial impedance and high charge injection limits are essential and nanoscale surface e...
متن کاملBeneficial Oral Biofilms as Smart Bioactive Interfaces
Periodontitis is a very common health problem caused by formation of pathogenic bacterial biofilm that triggers inflammation resulting in either reversible gingivitis or irreversible periodontal hard and soft tissue damages, leading to loss of teeth when left untreated. Commensal bacteria play an important role in oral health in many aspects. Mainly by colonizing oral tissues, they (i) contribu...
متن کاملNanopatterned polymer brushes as switchable bioactive interfaces.
We report convenient methods for synthesis of nanopatterned, thermally responsive brushes of poly(N-isopropyl acrylamide) over large areas (e.g., 1 cm(2)) to form model, dynamic, biofunctional surfaces. The new nanopatterned brush structure can be used to control (i) the rate of both nonspecific and biospecific adsorption processes at the polymer-graft-free regions of the substrate, and (ii) th...
متن کاملNeuroelectronic Interfacing With Cultured Multielectrode Arrays Toward a Cultured Probe
Efficient and selective electrical stimulation and recording of neural activity in peripheral, spinal, or central pathways requires multielectrode arrays at micrometer scale. At present, wire arrays in brain, flexible linear arrays in the cochlea and cuff arrays around nerve trunks are in experimental and/or clinical use. Twoand three-dimensional brush-like arrays and sieve arrays, with around ...
متن کاملHuman Coronary Artery Smooth Muscle Cell Responses to Bioactive Polyelectrolyte Multilayer Interfaces
Under normal physiological conditions, mature human coronary artery smooth muscle cells (hCASMCs) exhibit a "contractile" phenotype marked by low rates of proliferation and protein synthesis, but these cells possess the remarkable ability to dedifferentiate into a "synthetic" phenotype when stimulated by conditions of pathologic stress. A variety of polyelectrolyte multilayer (PEMU) films are s...
