A Conducting-Polymer Platform with Biodegradable Fibers for Stimulation and Guidance of Axonal Growth
journal contribution
posted on 2009-01-01, 00:00 authored by A Quigley, Joselito RazalJoselito Razal, B Thompson, S Moulton, M Kita, E Kennedy, G Clark, G Wallace, R KapsaA biosynthetic platform composed of a conducting polypyrrole sheet embedded with unidirectional biodegradable polymer fibers is described (see image; scale bar = 50 µm). Such hybrid systems can promote rapid directional nerve growth for neuro-regenerative scaffolds and act as interfaces between the electronic circuitry of medical bionic devices and the nervous system.
