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 …

Most prosthetic limbs can autonomously move with dexterity, yet they are not perceived by
the user as belonging to their own body. Robotic limbs can convey information about the …

Individuals who have lost the use of their hands because of amputation or spinal cord injury
can use prosthetic hands to restore their independence. A dexterous prosthesis requires the …

Flexible electronics technology dramatically changes the capability of sensors, which allows
us to detect human biological signals not only on the skin but also inside the human body …

Informational density and relative accessibility of the peripheral nervous system make it an
attractive site for therapeutic intervention. Electrode-based electrophysiological interfaces …

Peripheral nerve interfaces (PNIs) record and/or modulate neural activity of nerves, which
are responsible for conducting sensory-motor information to and from the central nervous …

Bioelectronic medicine (BM) is an emerging new approach for developing novel
neuromodulation therapies for pathologies that have been previously treated with …

The field of prosthetics has been evolving and advancing over the past decade, as patients
with missing extremities are expecting to control their prostheses in as normal a way as …

Neural-interfaced prostheses aim to restore sensorimotor limb functions in amputees. They
rely on bidirectional neural interfaces, which represent the communication bridge between …

Implantable electronics address therapeutical needs of patients with electrical signaling
dysfunctions such as heart problems, neurological disorders or hearing impairments. While …
