Abstract:
Neural implants are limited by the foreign body response, a protective but often unresolved reaction culminating in reactive gliosis and signal instability. We propose that long-term implant instability arises from progressive erosion of lineage-defining regulatory programs, uncoupling cellular compensation from tissue needs.
