Characterization of Mechanically Matched Hydrogel Coatings to Improve the Biocompatibility of Neural Implants

Abstract Glial scar is a significant barrier to neural implant function. Micromotion between the implant and tissue is suspected to be a key driver of glial scar formation around neural implants. This study explores the ability of soft hydrogel coatings to modulate glial scar formation by reducing l...
