Abstract
Peripheral neural interfaces, potent in modulating local and systemic immune responses for disease treatment, face significant challenges due to the peripheral nerves' broad distribution in tissues like the fascia, periosteum, and skin. The incongruity between static electronic components and the dynamic, complex organization of the peripheral nervous system often leads to interface failure, stalling circuit research and clinical applications. To overcome these, we developed a self-assembling, tissue-adaptive electrode composed of a single-component cocktail nanosheet colloid, including dopants, conducting polymers, stabilizers, and an MXene catalyst. Delivered via a jet injector to designated nerve terminals, this assembly utilizes reactive oxygen species to catalytically dope poly (3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene), enhancing π-π interactions between nanosheets, and yielding a conductive, biodegradable interface. This interface effectively regulates local immune activity and promotes sensory and motor nerve functional restoration in nerve-injured mice, while engaging the vagal-adrenal axis in freely moving mice, eliciting catecholamine neurotransmitter release, and suppressing systemic cytokine storms. This innovative strategy specifically targets nerve substructures, bolstering local and systemic immune modulation, and paving the way for the development of self-adaptive dynamic neural interfaces.
