Biomaterials. Electronic dura mater for long-term multimodal neural interfaces.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The mechanical mismatch between soft neural tissues and stiff neural implants hinders the long-term performance of implantable neuroprostheses. Here, we designed and fabricated soft neural implants with the shape and elasticity of dura mater, the protective membrane of the brain and spinal cord. The electronic dura mater, which we call e-dura, embeds interconnects, electrodes, and chemotrodes that sustain millions of mechanical stretch cycles, electrical stimulation pulses, and chemical injections. These integrated modalities enable multiple neuroprosthetic applications. The soft implants extracted cortical states in freely behaving animals for brain-machine interface and delivered electrochemical spinal neuromodulation that restored locomotion after paralyzing spinal cord injury.

متن کاملAn alginate hydrogel dura mater replacement for use with intracortical electrodes.
The collagenous dura mater requires a secure closure following implantation of neural prosthetic devices to avoid complications due to cerebrospinal fluid leakage and infections. Alginate was previously suggested for use as a dural sealant. The liquid application and controllable gelling conditions enable alginate to conform to the unique geometries of a neural prosthetic device and the surroun...
متن کاملInteraction of micron and nano-sized particles with cells of the dura mater
Intervertebral total disc replacements (TDR) are used in the treatment of degenerative spinal disc disease. There are, however, concerns that they may be subject to long-term failure due to wear. The adverse effects of TDR wear have the potential to manifest in the dura mater and surrounding tissues. The aim of this study was to investigate the physiological structure of the dura mater, isolate...
متن کاملProliferation rate of human osteoblast-like cells on alloplastic biomaterials and their clinical application for the transnasal duraplasty procedure
The possibility of transmission of slow virus infection (HIV) and Creutzfeld-Jakob disease by cadaveric dura implants makes it necessary to find synthetic, absorbable materials for the reconstruction of the dura mater. Various procedures with autologous or alloplastic material are described. Four commercially available biomaterials were choosen to study the proliferation rate and the biocompati...
متن کاملApical surgery with calcium hydroxide capping of the exposed dentine: a case report.
Among a variety of biomaterials that have been reported to be ideal for dental repair, calcium hydroxide has been shown to have excellent long-term biocompatibility in the pulp and periapical areas. Here we report an alternative method employing calcium hydroxide for periapical surgery in a patient who developed internal apical resorption after traumatic injury, which negatively affected the qu...
