Extraneural Electrodes In article number 2203431, Youn Soo Kim and co-workers introduce an ideal conductive hydrogel for tissue-like extraneural electrodes with high conformability to improve the tissue–electronic interface. This exhibits excellent adhesion, biocompatibility, non-swelling, electrical conductivity in water. The is implanted into sciatic nerve of rats, neuromodulation successfully demonstrated through low-current stimulation.
