要約(日本語): The recovery from spinal cord injuries through neuroplasticity is limited by the time elapsed since the injury. To overcome this limitation, developing a bio-device capable of transmitting signals is desirable. Hydrogels have emerged as promising materials for such bio-devices due to their biocompatibility. However, the speed of ion transport within hydrogels is comparatively slow when compared to electron transport in electronic devices. Additionally, signal amplitude decreases with greater distances traveled through the hydrogel. Our research focuses on enhancing ion transport through hydrogels by mimicking the mechanism of saltatory conduction. We explore the formation of droplet interface bilayers and the insertion of nanopore channels as initial steps in this endeavor.
