From: Chronic multichannel neural recordings from soft regenerative microchannel electrodes during gait
Representative images of the axonal regrowth through the implant in three distinct microchannels and at three time points, showing axons (green), Schwann cells (red) and cell nuclei (blue).
Regeneration of myelinated axons in the distal portion of the implant can be seen as soon as two weeks post-implantation with further qualitative increase over the next two months. (d) The same as in (b) with DAPI shows that channels were filled with cells. (A) 2 weeks, (B) 8 weeks and (C) 12 weeks post-implantation. Scale bar of 20 μm; dotted line overlays the microchannel geometrical contour.
