[PMID: 39978049 PMCID: PMC11893264 DOI: 10.1016/j.biomaterials.2025.123136] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/27/2024] [Revised: 01/04/2025] [Accepted: 01/23/2025] [Indexed: 02/22/2025]
Abstract
Surface topography or curvature plays a crucial role in regulating cell behavior, influencing processes such as adhesion, proliferation, and gene expression. Recent advancements in nano- and micro-fabrication techniques have enabled the development of biomimetic systems that mimic native extracellular matrix (ECM) structures, providing new insights into cell-adhesion mechanisms, mechanotransduction, and cell-environment interactions. This review examines the diverse applications of engineered topographies across multiple domains, including antibacterial surfaces, immunomodulatory devices, tissue engineering scaffolds, and cancer therapies. It highlights how nanoscale features like nanopillars and nanospikes exhibit bactericidal properties, while many microscale patterns can direct stem cell differentiation and modulate immune cell responses. Furthermore, we discuss the interdisciplinary use of topography for combined applications, such as the simultaneous regulation of immune and tissue cells in 2D and 3D environments. Despite significant advances, key knowledge gaps remain, particularly regarding the effects of topographical cues on multicellular interactions and dynamic 3D contexts. This review summarizes current fabrication methods, explores specific and interdisciplinary applications, and proposes future research directions to enhance the design and utility of topographically patterned biomaterials in clinical and experimental settings.

[PMID: 40360495 PMCID: PMC12075682 DOI: 10.1038/s41378-025-00948-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/19/2024] [Revised: 03/14/2025] [Accepted: 03/31/2025] [Indexed: 05/15/2025]
Abstract
The growing demand for advanced neural interfaces that enable precise brain monitoring and modulation has catalyzed significant research into flexible, biocompatible, and highly conductive materials. PEDOT:PSS-based bioelectronic materials exhibit high conductivity, mechanical flexibility, and biocompatibility, making them particularly suitable for integration into neural devices for brain science research. These materials facilitate high-resolution neural activity monitoring and provide precise electrical stimulation across diverse modalities. This review comprehensively examines recent advances in the development of PEDOT:PSS-based bioelectrodes for brain monitoring and modulation, with a focus on strategies to enhance their conductivity, biocompatibility, and long-term stability. Furthermore, it highlights the integration of multifunctional neural interfaces that enable synchronous stimulation-recording architectures, hybrid electro-optical stimulation modalities, and multimodal brain activity monitoring. These integrations enable fundamentally advancing the precision and clinical translatability of brain-computer interfaces. By addressing critical challenges related to efficacy, integration, safety, and clinical translation, this review identifies key opportunities for advancing next-generation neural devices. The insights presented are vital for guiding future research directions in the field and fostering the development of cutting-edge bioelectronic technologies for neuroscience and clinical applications.

Abstract
Interfacing artificial devices with the human brain is the central goal of neurotechnology. Yet, our imaginations are often limited by currently available paradigms and technologies. Suggestions for brain-machine interfaces have changed over time, along with the available technology. Mechanical levers and cable winches were used to move parts of the brain during the mechanical age. Sophisticated electronic wiring and remote control have arisen during the electronic age, ultimately leading to plug-and-play computer interfaces. Nonetheless, our brains are so complex that these visions, until recently, largely remained unreachable dreams. The general problem, thus far, is that most of our technology is mechanically and/or electrically engineered, whereas the brain is a living, dynamic entity. As a result, these worlds are difficult to interface with one another. Nanotechnology, which encompasses engineered solid-state objects and integrated circuits, excels at small length scales of single to a few hundred nanometers and, thus, matches the sizes of biomolecules, biomolecular assemblies, and parts of cells. Consequently, we envision nanomaterials and nanotools as opportunities to interface with the brain in alternative ways. Here, we review the existing literature on the use of nanotechnology in brain-machine interfaces and look forward in discussing perspectives and limitations based on the authors' expertise across a range of complementary disciplines─from neuroscience, engineering, physics, and chemistry to biology and medicine, computer science and mathematics, and social science and jurisprudence. We focus on nanotechnology but also include information from related fields when useful and complementary.

[PMID: 39843597 DOI: 10.1038/s41596-024-01105-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/26/2024] [Accepted: 11/05/2024] [Indexed: 01/24/2025]
Abstract
Implantable multifunctional probes have transformed neuroscience research, offering access to multifaceted brain activity that was previously unattainable. Typically, simultaneous access to both optical and electrical signals requires separate probes, while their integration into a single device can result in the emergence of photogenerated electrical artifacts, affecting the quality of high-frequency neural recordings. Among the nontrivial strategies aimed at the realization of an implantable multifunctional interface, the integration of optical and electrical capabilities on a single, minimally invasive, tapered optical fiber probe has been recently demonstrated using fibertrodes. Fibertrodes require the application of a set of planar microfabrication techniques to a nonplanar system with low and nonconstant curvature radius. Here we develop a process based on multiple conformal depositions, nonplanar two-photon lithography and chemical wet etching steps to obtain metallic patterns on the highly curved surface of the fiber taper. We detail the manufacturing, encapsulation and back end of the fibertrodes. The design of the probe can be adapted for different experimental requirements. Using the optical setup design, it is possible to perform angle selective light coupling with the fibertrodes and their implantation and use in vivo. The fabrication of fibertrodes is estimated to require 5-9 d. Nonetheless, due to the high scalability of a large part of the protocol, the manufacture of multiple fibertrodes simultaneously substantially reduces the required time for each probe. The procedure is suitable for users with expertise in microfabrication of electronics and neural recordings.

Abstract
In this work, a new method of multi-material printing in one-go using a commercially available 3D printer is presented. The approach is simple and versatile, allowing the manufacturing of multi-material layered or multi-material printing in the same layer. To the best of the knowledge, it is the first time that 3D printed Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) polystyrene sulfonate (PEDOT:PSS) micro-patterns combining different materials are reported, overcoming mechanical stability issues. Moreover, the conducting ink is engineered to obtain stable in-time materials while retaining sub-100 µm resolution. Micro-structured bio-shaped protuberances are designed and 3D printed as electrodes for electrophysiology. Moreover, these microstructures are combined with polymerizable deep eutectic solvents (polyDES) as functional additives, gaining adhesion and ionic conductivity. As a result of the novel electrodes, low skin impedance values showed suitable performance for electromyography recording on the forearm. Finally, this concluded that the use of polyDES conferred stability over time, allowing the usability of the electrode 90 days after fabrication without losing its performance. All in all, this demonstrated a very easy-to-make procedure that allows printing PEDOT:PSS on soft, hard, and/or flexible functional substrates, opening up a new paradigm in the manufacturing of conducting multi-functional materials for the field of bioelectronics and wearables.

Abstract
Planar microelectrode arrays (MEAs) for - in vitro or in vivo - neuronal signal recordings lack the spatial resolution and sufficient signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) required for a detailed understanding of neural network function and synaptic plasticity. To overcome these limitations, a highly customizable three-dimensional (3D) printing process is used in combination with thin film technology and a self-aligned template-assisted electrochemical deposition process to fabricate 3D-printed-based MEAs on stiff or flexible substrates. Devices with design flexibility and physical robustness are shown for recording neural activity in different in vitro and in vivo applications, achieving high-aspect ratio 3D microelectrodes of up to 33:1. Here, MEAs successfully record neural activity in 3D neuronal cultures, retinal explants, and the cortex of living mice, thereby demonstrating the versatility of the 3D MEA while maintaining high-quality neural recordings. Customizable 3D MEAs provide unique opportunities to study neural activity under regular or various pathological conditions, both in vitro and in vivo, and contribute to the development of drug screening and neuromodulation systems that can accurately monitor the activity of large neural networks over time.

Abstract
Exploiting the light-matter interplay to realize advanced light responsive multimodal platforms is an emerging strategy to engineer bioinspired systems such as optoelectronic synaptic devices. However, existing neuroinspired optoelectronic devices rely on complex processing of hybrid materials which often do not exhibit the required features for biological interfacing such as biocompatibility and low Young's modulus. Recently, organic photoelectrochemical transistors (OPECTs) have paved the way towards multimodal devices that can better couple to biological systems benefiting from the characteristics of conjugated polymers. Neurohybrid OPECTs can be designed to optimally interface neuronal systems while resembling typical plasticity-driven processes to create more sophisticated integrated architectures between neuron and neuromorphic ends. Here, an innovative photo-switchable PEDOT:PSS was synthesized and successfully integrated into an OPECT. The OPECT device uses an azobenzene-based organic neuro-hybrid building block to mimic the retina's structure exhibiting the capability to emulate visual pathways. Moreover, dually operating the device with opto- and electrical functions, a light-dependent conditioning and extinction processes were achieved faithful mimicking synaptic neural functions such as short- and long-term plasticity.

Abstract
Microelectrode Arrays (MEAs) are popular tools for in vitro extracellular recording. They are often optimized by surface engineering to improve affinity with neurons and guarantee higher recording quality and stability. Recently, PEDOT:PSS has been used to coat microelectrodes due to its good biocompatibility and low impedance, which enhances neural coupling. Herein, we investigate on electro-co-polymerization of EDOT with its triglymated derivative to control valence between monomer units and hydrophilic functions on a conducting polymer. Molecular packing, cation complexation, dopant stoichiometry are governed by the glycolation degree of the electro-active coating of the microelectrodes. Optimal monomer ratio allows fine-tuning the material hydrophilicity and biocompatibility without compromising the electrochemical impedance of microelectrodes nor their stability while interfaced with a neural cell culture. After incubation, sensing readout on the modified electrodes shows higher performances with respect to unmodified electropolymerized PEDOT, with higher signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and higher spike counts on the same neural culture. Reported SNR values are superior to that of state-of-the-art PEDOT microelectrodes and close to that of state-of-the-art 3D microelectrodes, with a reduced fabrication complexity. Thanks to this versatile technique and its impact on the surface chemistry of the microelectrode, we show that electro-co-polymerization trades with many-compound properties to easily gather them into single macromolecular structures. Applied on sensor arrays, it holds great potential for the customization of neurosensors to adapt to environmental boundaries and to optimize extracted sensing features.

Abstract
Neural interfaces are evolving at a rapid pace owing to advances in material science and fabrication, reduced cost of scalable complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) technologies, and highly interdisciplinary teams of researchers and engineers that span a large range from basic to applied and clinical sciences. This study outlines currently established technologies, defined as instruments and biological study systems that are routinely used in neuroscientific research. After identifying the shortcomings of current technologies, such as a lack of biocompatibility, topological optimization, low bandwidth, and lack of transparency, it maps out promising directions along which progress should be made to achieve the next generation of symbiotic and intelligent neural interfaces. Lastly, it proposes novel applications that can be achieved by these developments, ranging from the understanding and reproduction of synaptic learning to live-long multimodal measurements to monitor and treat various neuronal disorders.

Abstract
Two-photon polymerization based direct laser writing (DLW) is an emerging micronano 3D fabrication technology wherein two-photon initiators (TPIs) are a key component in photoresists. Upon exposure to a femtosecond laser, TPIs can trigger the polymerization reaction, leading to the solidification of photoresists. In other words, TPIs directly determine the rate of polymerization, physicochemical properties of polymers, and even the photolithography feature size. However, they generally exhibit extremely poor solubility in photoresist systems, severely inhibiting their application in DLW. To break through this bottleneck, we propose a strategy to prepare TPIs as liquids via molecular design. The maximum weight fraction of the as-prepared liquid TPI in photoresist significantly increases to 2.0 wt %, which is several times higher than that of commercial 7-diethylamino-3-thenoylcoumarin (DETC). Meanwhile, this liquid TPI also exhibits an excellent absorption cross section (64 GM), allowing it to absorb femtosecond laser efficiently and generate abundant active species to initiate polymerization. Remarkably, the respective minimum feature sizes of line arrays and suspended lines are 47 and 20 nm, which are comparable to that of the-state-of-the-art electron beam lithography. Besides, the liquid TPI can be utilized to fabricate various high-quality 3D microstructures and manufacture large-area 2D devices at a considerable writing speed (1.045 m s-1). Therefore, the liquid TPI would be one of the promising initiators for micronano fabrication technology and pave the way for future development of DLW.

Abstract
This paper reports on a new strategy for obtaining homogeneous dispersion of grafted quantum dots (QDs) in a photopolymer matrix and their use for the integration of single-photon sources by two-photon polymerization (TPP) with nanoscale precision. The method is based on phase transfer of QDs from organic solvents to an acrylic matrix. The detailed protocol is described, and the corresponding mechanism is investigated and revealed. The phase transfer is done by ligand exchange through the introduction of mono-2-(methacryloyloxy) ethyl succinate (MES) that replaces oleic acid (OA). Infrared (IR) measurements show the replacement of OA on the QD surface by MES after ligand exchange. This allows QDs to move from the hexane phase to the pentaerythritol triacrylate (PETA) phase. The QDs that are homogeneously dispersed in the photopolymer without any clusterization do not show any significant broadening in their photoluminescence spectra even after more than 3 years. The ability of the hybrid photopolymer to create micro- and nanostructures by two-photon polymerization is demonstrated. The homogeneity of emission from 2D and 3D microstructures is confirmed by confocal photoluminescence microscopy. The fabrication and integration of a single-photon source in a spatially controlled manner by TPP is achieved and confirmed by auto-correlation measurements.

Molecules 2023; 28:molecules28073262. [PMID: 37050025 PMCID: PMC10096780 DOI: 10.3390/molecules28073262] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/17/2023] [Revised: 04/01/2023] [Accepted: 04/03/2023] [Indexed: 04/09/2023] Open
Abstract
In this work, TiO2-MXene/poly (3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene): poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) composite was utilized as an electrode material for the sensitive electrochemical detection of baicalein. The in-situ growth of TiO2 nanoparticles on the surface of MXene nanosheets can effectively prevent their aggregation, thus presenting a significantly large specific surface area and abundant active sites. However, the partial oxidation of MXene after calcination could reduce its conductivity. To address this issue, herein, PEDOT:PSS films were introduced to disperse the TiO2-MXene materials. The uniform and dense films of PEDOT:PSS not only improved the conductivity and dispersion of TiO2-MXene but also enhanced its stability and electrocatalytic activity. With the advantages of a composite material, TiO2-MXene/PEDOT:PSS as an electrode material demonstrated excellent electrochemical sensing ability for baicalein determination, with a wide linear response ranging from 0.007 to 10.0 μM and a lower limit of detection of 2.33 nM. Furthermore, the prepared sensor displayed good repeatability, reproducibility, stability and selectivity, and presented satisfactory results for the determination of baicalein in human urine sample analysis.
