Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Neuroscience
  • Regenerative Medicine

Background:

  • Neural interfaces traditionally focus on brain applications.
  • Peripheral nerve interfaces (PNIs) are gaining interest for conditions affecting peripheral nerve function, such as in amputees.
  • Current PNIs face challenges including signal undersampling, nerve-fiber selectivity, and device-tissue integration.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the state-of-the-art in peripheral nerve interfaces and nerve tissue engineering.
  • To highlight recent advancements in combining neural-interface technology with tissue engineering approaches.
  • To address persistent challenges, such as the foreign-body response, in PNI development.

Main Methods:

  • Reviewing existing literature on peripheral nerve interfaces.
  • Examining tissue engineering strategies for nerve regeneration scaffolds.
  • Analyzing the integration of neural-interface technology with tissue engineering principles.

Main Results:

  • Tissue engineering offers solutions for PNI design challenges by creating scaffolds that mimic native nerve extracellular matrix and microarchitecture.
  • Combining PNIs with tissue engineering promotes natural axon regeneration into devices, enhancing electrode contact.
  • This integrated approach contrasts with traditional PNIs that rely on electrode insertion or placement without actively facilitating regeneration.

Conclusions:

  • The integration of peripheral nerve interfaces with tissue engineering represents a significant advancement in restoring nerve function.
  • Future research should focus on overcoming challenges like the foreign-body response to optimize PNI performance.
  • This synergistic approach holds promise for developing high-performance sensory and motor interfaces for the peripheral nervous system.
