Abstract Brain–computer interfaces and neural prostheses based on the detection of electrocorticography (ECoG) signals are rapidly growing fields research. Several technologies currently competing to be first reach market; however, none them fulfill yet all requirements ideal interface with neurons. Thanks its biocompatibility, low dimensionality, mechanical flexibility, electronic properties, graphene is one most promising material candidates for interfacing. After discussing operation...
The electrode material is a key element in the design of long-term neural implants and neuroprostheses. To date, ideal offering high longevity, biocompatibility, low-noise recording stimulation capabilities remains to be found. We show that 3D-nanostructured boron doped diamond (BDD), an innovative consisting chemically stable with aspect ratio structure obtained by encapsulation carbon nanotube template within two BDD nanolayers, allows cell attachment, survival neurite extension.

This paper reports on the use of silicon nanowires (SiNWs), easily prepared in a single step by chemical etching crystalline HF/AgNO3 aqueous solution, as highly sensitive substrate for laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (LDI-MS) analysis. The SiNWs' diameter and length depend etchant concentration dissolution time. Optimized LDI consists with an average range 20−100 nm 2.5 μm length. optimized surface morphology coupled to controlled chemistry allowed significant LDI-MS...
Interfacing nanowires and living cells is highly interesting in various fields including biomedical implants, biosensors or drug delivery. Vertically aligned silicon nanowire (SiNW) arrays prepared by the stain etching technique were investigated this study. Chemical modification with octadecyltrichlorosilane (OTS) led to formation of superhydrophobic SiNW surface a contact angle around 160°. A micropatterned superhydrophilic/superhydrophobic was fabricated using standard optical lithography...
We have established long-term cultures of postnatal retinal cells on arrays gallium phosphide nanowires different geometries. Rod and cone photoreceptors, ganglion bipolar survived the substrates for at least 18 days in vitro. Glial were also observed, but these did not overgrow neuronal population. On nanowires, neurons extended numerous long branched neurites that expressed synaptic vesicle marker synaptophysin. The longest (4 μm long) allowed a greater attachment neurite elongation our...
We present for the first time an electrowetting on dielectric (EWOD) microfluidic system coupled to a surface-assisted laser desorption-ionization (SALDI) silicon nanowire-based interface mass spectrometry (MS) analysis of small biomolecules.

Neural cultures are very useful in neuroscience, providing simpler and better controlled systems than the vivo situation. tissue contains two main cell types, neurons glia, interactions between these essential for appropriate neuronal development. In neural cultures, glial cells tend to overgrow neurons, limiting access interrogation. There is therefore a pressing need improved that enable good separation when coculturing simultaneously, allowing one address unequivocally. Here, we used...

Sensing and manipulating living cells using vertical nanowire devices requires a complete understanding of cell behavior on these substrates. Changes in function phenotype are often triggered by events taking place at the plasma membrane, properties which influenced local curvature. The topography can therefore be expected to greatly affect emphasizing importance studying membranes arrays. Here, we used supported phospholipid bilayers as model for biomembranes. We demonstrate formation fluid...
Limitations of silicon nanowire arrays produced using chemical etching for drug delivery.
Peptide microarrays are useful tools for the characterization of humoral responses against peptide antigens. The study post-translational modifications requires printing appropriately modified peptides, whose synthesis can be time-consuming and expensive. We describe here a method named "chips from chips", which allows probing presence antibodies directed toward antigens starting unmodified microarrays. chip concept is based on modification microspots by simple chemical reactions.
