Implantable Bioelectronics for Gut Electrophysiology

This paper introduces a bioelectronic implant for recording neural activity in the distal colon of freely-moving rats, demonstrating its ability to capture electrophysiological responses and colonic activity related to food intake and stress.

Ultraconformable cuff implants for long-term bidirectional interfacing of peripheral nerves at sub-nerve resolutions

This paper develops ultraconformable cuff implants for long-term bidirectional nerve interfacing in rats, achieving high-resolution recording and modulation of nerve activity.

Regenerative capacity of neural tissue scales with changes in tissue mechanics post injury

This study investigates how mechanical properties of neural tissue change after injury, finding that PNS tissue stiffens while CNS tissue softens, potentially influencing regeneration.
