Amorphous Silicon Carbide Ultramicroelectrode Arrays for Neural Interfaces

The clinical ability to record and stimulate neural activity with implanted microelectrode arrays has been limited by the problems of insertion trauma and foreign body response (FBR), which can lead to neuron damage and reduced reliability. Minimizing this tissue response is necessary for the development of implantable interfaces for studying neural...

Neurocase: Peripheral Nerve Electrode for Neural Recording and Stimulation

The ability to record and stimulate neural activity with implanted microelectrode arrays has been limited by the problems of insertion trauma and foreign body response, which can lead to neuron damage and reduced reliability of results. Minimizing such tissue responses is necessary to develop implantable interfaces for studying neural activity and even...

Enhancing Plasticity and Recovery Following Spinal Cord Injury

Spinal cord injury (SCI) can lead to a wide range of functional impairments that reduce the independence and quality of life for millions worldwide. Intense rehabilitation therapy is the most consistently effective therapy for SCI patients, but serious impairments may persist even after years of treatment.While the impairments that result from SCI are...

Improved Dental Abutment Geometries for Cement-Retained Crowns

According to the American Academy of Implant Dentistry, over 500,000 dental implants are performed per year in the United States. Despite being such a common procedure, peri-implant disease has been found to affect as much as 48% of implants according to the American Academy of Periodontology. Inefficiencies of commercial dental implant systems have...

Multifunctional Ionic liquids for Surface Modification of Dental Implants

Titanium dental implants are known for their high success rates and adequate osseointegration in vivo. However, with an increasing number of implants used, higher incidence of failures has been reported. These failures have been associated with microbial colonization, peri-implant inflammation, corrosion, implant design, overload, as well as a combination...
