Bioresorbable neural interfaces for bioelectronic medicine

Abstract

Bioresorbable neural interfaces have the potential to significantly advance the treatment of neurological disorders and modulate the nervous system, as they can safely degrade into biologically benign end products after a specified operational period without requiring additional surgical interventions. In this review, we present a comprehensive overview of recent developments in bioresorbable neural interfaces, including electrical, optical, electrochemical, mechano-electric, thermal, and magnetoelectric strategies for neuromodulation and regenerative medicine. Associated material options, fabrication techniques, and therapeutic applications will be discussed.
