The development of bioelectronic neural implant technologies has advanced significantly over the past 5 years, particularly in brain-machine interfaces and electronic medicine. However, neuroelectrode-based therapies require invasive neurosurgery can subject tissues to micromotion-induced mechanical shear, leading chronic inflammation, formation a peri-electrode void deposition reactive glial scar tissue. These structures act as physical barriers, hindering electrical signal propagation reducing functionality. Although well documented, mechanisms behind initiation progression these processes are poorly understood. Herein, silico analysis gliosis is described. Subsequently, ventral mesencephalic cells exposed milliscale fluid shear stress vitro exhibited increased expression gliosis-associated proteins overexpression mechanosensitive ion channels PIEZO1 (piezo-type channel component 1) TRPA1 (transient receptor potential ankyrin 1), effects further confirmed vivo rat model gliosis. Furthermore, indicates that chemical inhibition/activation affects mediated astrocyte reactivity mitochondrial-dependent manner. Together, results suggest play major role scarring at region.

The optic nerve is an important tissue in glaucoma and the unmyelinated head region remains site of many early neurodegenerative changes. In both humans mice, astrocytes constitute major glial cell type region, they become reactive, influencing (ONH) microenvironment disease outcome. Despite recognizing their importance progression disease, reactive response poorly understood.To determine global ONH we studied transcriptional to elevation IOP induced by microbead occlusion model. To specifically isolate astrocyte mRNA vivo from complex tissues, used ribotag method genetically tag ribosomes astrocytes, restricting analysis enabling purification astrocyte-associated throughout entire cell, including fine processes, for bulk RNA-sequencing. We also assessed more distal myelinated proper (ONP) as glaucomatous changes manifest differently between two regions.Astrocytes exhibited a region-specific temporally distinct response. Surprisingly, showed very few ONP demonstrated substantially larger over course experimental period. Energy metabolism, particularly oxidative phosphorylation mitochondrial protein translation emerged highly upregulated processes with former showing additional upregulation antioxidative capacity proteolysis. Interestingly, limited neuroinflammatory response, even when challenged severe IOP. Lastly, there were greater number downregulated populations compared processes.Our findings demonstrate essential role energy metabolism elevated IOP, contrary expectations, neuroinflammation had overall role. profile supportive notion that have beneficial glaucoma. These previously uncharacterized injury reveal functional diversity heterogeneity than appreciated.

Abstract Clinical applications for neural implant technologies are steadily advancing. Yet, despite clinical successes, neuroelectrode-based therapies require invasive neurosurgery and can subject local soft-tissues to micro-motion induced mechanical shear, leading the development of peri-implant scaring. This reactive glial tissue creates a physical barrier electrical signal propagation, loss device function. Although peri-electrode gliosis is well described contributor neuroelectrode failure, mechanistic basis behind initiation progression scarring remains poorly understood. Here, we develop an in silico model electrode-induced shear stress evaluate evolution fluid-filled void, encompassing solid viscoelastic liquid/solid interface. was subsequently used inform vitro parallel-plate flow micromotion mediated fluid stress.

Finally, it shown that chemical inhibition/activation could exacerbate or attenuate astrocyte reactivity as by this mitochondrial dependant.
