Damage to the peripheral nervous system is surprisingly common and occurs primarily from
trauma or a complication of surgery. Although recovery of nerve function occurs in many …

The fidelity of cell culture simulations of traumatic brain injury (TBI) that yield tolerance and
mechanistic information relies on both the cellular models and mechanical insult parameters. …

A mechanical insult to the brain drastically alters the microenvironment as specific cell types
become reactive in an effort to sequester severely damaged tissue. Although injury-induced …

High-resolution neural interfaces are essential tools for studying and modulating neural
circuits underlying brain function and disease. Because electrodes are miniaturized to achieve …

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a major health issue comprising a heterogeneous and complex
array of pathologies. Over the last several decades, numerous animal models have been …

Although concussion is now recognized as a major health issue, its non-lethal nature has
limited characterization of the underlying pathophysiology. In particular, potential …

Conductive hydrogels are attractive to mimic electrophysiological environments of biological
tissues and toward therapeutic applications. Injectable and conductive hydrogels are of …

Unique from other brain disorders, traumatic brain injury (TBI) generally results from a
discrete biomechanical event that induces rapid head movement. The large size and high …

Neural-electrical interface platforms are being developed to extracellularly monitor neuronal
population activity. Polyaniline-based electrically conducting polymer fibers are attractive …

Morphological and electrophysiological properties of neural cells are substantially influenced
by their immediate extracellular surroundings, yet the features of this environment are …
