Wireless and battery-free technologies for neuroengineering

Sang Min Won et al.

Summary: This Review Article discusses recent progress in the development of miniaturized and ultralightweight devices for neuroengineering, which are wireless, battery-free, and fully implantable. These devices can restrict natural motions and prevent social interactions in animal models, limiting their utility in behavioural neuroscience research. However, advanced neural interfaces with optical, electrical, or fluidic functionality have emerged, capable of combining recording and stimulation modalities for closed-loop applications in basic studies or the treatment of abnormal physiological processes.

Three-dimensional transistor arrays for intra- and inter-cellular recording

Yue Gu et al.

Summary: The research introduces a scalable platform featuring a three-dimensional field-effect transistor array produced via compressive buckling, enabling accurate recording of transmembrane potentials and intracellular recordings in cells and cellular networks. The platform utilizes high-performance field-effect transistors for cellular interfacing, providing faithful recordings and valuable experimental data for probing the electrical behaviors of single cells and cellular networks. Leveraging the high spatial and temporal resolutions of the transistors, the study reveals new insights into signal conduction velocities and pathways within cells and cellular constructs.

Chronic electrical stimulation of peripheral nerves via deep-red light transduced by an implanted organic photocapacitor

Malin Silvera Ejneby et al.

Summary: The study demonstrates the use of an organic electrolytic photocapacitor for wireless chronic electrical stimulation of the sciatic nerve in rats, transducing deep-red light into electrical signals and implanted within a thin cuff around the nerve for over 100 days. This device shows potential for reliable and safe modulation of neural tissue with reduced invasiveness.

A tissue-like neurotransmitter sensor for the brain and gut

Jinxing Li et al.

Summary: Neurotransmitters play crucial roles in regulating neural circuit dynamics in the central and peripheral nervous systems, including the gastrointestinal tract. However, there is a lack of bioelectronic tools for real-time monitoring of neurotransmitter dynamics in vivo, especially in the enteric nervous system. In this study, the researchers developed a tissue-mimicking, stretchable neurochemical biological interface called NeuroString, which allows chronic in vivo real-time monitoring of monoamine levels in the brain and serotonin dynamics in the gut. This interface has the potential for studying the impact of neurotransmitters on gut microbes and brain-gut communication.

Permeable superelastic liquid-metal fibre mat enables biocompatible and monolithic stretchable electronics

Zhijun Ma et al.

Summary: A new type of stretchable conductor, liquid-metal fiber mat, has been developed with high permeability, stretchability, conductivity, and electrical stability, as well as good biocompatibility and adaptiveness to omnidirectional stretching. The liquid metal self-organizes into mesh-like and buckled structures on an electrospun elastomeric fiber mat, allowing for the realization of highly permeable and multifunctional monolithic stretchable electronics.
