Dynamically autofocused 3D pulsed laser micromachining enables advanced 3D bioelectronics
Abstract Advancing next-generation bioelectronic interfaces requires devices that are soft, miniaturized, and seamlessly integrated with biological tissues. However, conventional fabrication methods, primarily based on UV photolithography, struggle to meet these needs, relying on hazardous chemicals, labor-intensive processes, and planar, layer-by-layer construction.
High Dynamic Range Thin‐Film Resistive Flow Sensors for Monitoring Diverse Biofluids
1 Introduction Biofluids, such as blood, sweat, and cerebrospinal fluid, are essential to life, playing crucial roles in transporting nutrients, hormones, and waste products, as well as maintaining homeostasis and supporting various other physiological functions[1-3] The biofluid composition is also accounted for the formulation of drug solutions and other therapeutic agents.[4-7] Monitoring the flow rate of these fluids can serve as an important indicator, contributing to the understanding...

Fluidic enabled bioelectronic implants: Opportunities and Challenges
Fluidic enabled bioelectronic implants: Opportunities and Challenges Lawrence Coles, Pelumi Oluwasanya, Nuzli Karam and Christopher Proctor Abstract Bioelectronic implants are increasingly facilitating novel strategies for clinical diagnosis and treatment. The integration of fluidic technologies into such implants enable new complementary routes for sensing and therapy alongside electrical interaction.
Materials and Device Considerations in Electrophoretic Drug Delivery Devices
Abstract Electrophoretic drug delivery devices are able to deliver drugs with exceptional temporal and spatial precision. This technology has emerged as a promising platform for treating pathologies ranging from neuropathic pain to epilepsy. As the range of applications continues to expand, there is an urgent need to understand the underlying physics and estimate materials and device parameters for optimal performance.

Could This Brain Implant Stop Epilepsy Seizures?
For many people who suffer from neurological disorders, such as epilepsy, there are no viable treatment options. In our latest research, we developed an implantable device that may one day offer relief. We show that the implant can treat problems in the brain, such as epileptic seizures, by delivering brain chemicals – known as neurotransmitters – directly to the cells in the brain that cause the problem.

Electrophoretic drug delivery for seizure control
The failure of systemic drug treatments to address numerous neurological disorders has spurred the development of alternative approaches that attempt localized treatment. These localized treatments focus therapy on the region of the brain affected by the pathology, thereby enhancing the effectives of the treatment while reducing side effects inherent in systemic treatments.
