Since the early 2000s, inspiring and encouraging neurotechnology examples have been the subject of high-profile scientific articles and made headlines in popular media. However, although neurotechnologies have the potential to improve people’s lives in ways that cannot be achieved by other solutions such as pharmaceuticals, only a few of them have established themselves as clinical solutions. In this Review, we provide a systematic, state-of-the-art assessment of the opportunities and shortcomings of neurotechnology’s engineering and scientific components, and highlight the requirements to overcome translational barriers. Finally, we present a comprehensive framework to aid the clinical and commercial translation of neurotechnologies. Despite inspiring proof-of-concepts that are often widely covered by the media, only a few neurotechnologies have firmly established themselves as clinical solutions. In this Review, we discuss opportunities and shortcomings of this technology, and provide a framework to facilitate clinical and commercial translation.","PeriodicalId":74248,"journal":{"name":"Nature reviews bioengineering","volume":"2 8","pages":"637-652"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.nature.com/articles/s44222-024-00185-2.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141188945","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Nevertheless, science, technology, engineering and mathematics disciplines, including bioengineering, continue to fall short in increasing representation from persons from groups historically excluded because of their ethnicity or race. Many universities have crafted strategic plans to increase diversity; however, university-wide policies often fail to result in notable changes in microcommunities, such as departments and undergraduate or graduate programs. Therefore, departments may benefit from guidelines not only to craft effective diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) plans, but also to measure progress towards achieving specific DEI goals. In this Perspective, we present a framework for building, assessing and continuously improving strategic plans to improve recruitment and retention and to make departments more inclusive, including the collection of demographic data, the establishment and assessment of DEI plans, specific goal setting and assessment of achievements, with specific examples and guidelines, which will ultimately help departments to become inclusive working environments.

OECTs leverage ionic solutions for their operation, so OECTs are well-suited for interfacing with biological systems for electrophysiology and biochemical sensing, in particular, in point-of-care diagnostics, wearable and implantable technologies, and in organ-on-chip systems. The interface of OECTs with biological systems is a crucial parameter that determines the function and performance of the devices, influencing the design criteria, including the selection of materials and device form factor, geometry and architecture. The selected design features must enable seamless interaction with biological components while ensuring reliable and stable device performance in complex settings. In this Review, we investigate the biological interfaces of OECT-based biosensors, examining their complexity and length scale. We highlight interface designs with biomolecules, such as lipids, proteins and aptamers, as well as in vitro cell culture and the human body. Importantly, we explore strategies to improve each interface type and identify gaps in our current understanding that warrant further investigation. The organic electrochemical transistor stands out as a tool for constructing powerful biosensors owing to its high signal transduction ability and adaptability to various geometrical forms. However, the performance of organic electrochemical transistors relies on stable and seamless interfaces with biological systems. This Review examines strategies to improve and optimize interfaces between organic electrochemical transistors and various biological components.","PeriodicalId":74248,"journal":{"name":"Nature reviews bioengineering","volume":"2 7","pages":"559-574"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140842470","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
