The implantation of any foreign material into the body leads to the development of an
inflammatory and fibrotic process—the foreign body reaction (FBR). Upon implantation into a …

Polyimides (PIs) represent a benchmark for high-performance polymers on the basis of a
remarkable collection of valuable traits and accessible production pathways and therefore …

The development of neural interfaces with superior biocompatibility and improved tissue
integration is vital for treating and restoring neurological functions in the nervous system. A …

Neural implants are technical systems that restore sensory or motor functions after injury and
modulate neural behavior in neuronal diseases. Neural interfaces or prostheses have lead …

Considerable scientific and technological efforts have been devoted to develop
neuroprostheses and hybrid bionic systems that link the human nervous system with …

Many different concepts of peripheral nerve interfaces have been developed over the past
few decades and transferred into neuroscientific or clinical applications with varying degrees …

Several efforts have been carried out to enhance dexterous hand prosthesis control by
impaired individuals. Choosing which voluntary signal to use for control purposes is a critical …

The acquisition of high-fidelity, long-term neural recordings in vivo is critically important to
advance neuroscience and brain–machine interfaces. For decades, rigid materials such as …

State-of-the-art prosthetic hands nearly match the dexterity of the human hand, and
sophisticated approaches have been developed to control them intuitively. However …

Current treatment of upper limb amputation restores some degree of functional ability, but
this ability falls far below the standard set by the natural arm. Although acceptance rates can …
