Polyimide Electrode-Based Electrical Stimulation Impedes Early Stage Muscle Graft Regeneration

Polyimide Electrode-Based Electrical Stimulation Impedes Early Stage Muscle Graft Regeneration

Given the increasing use of regenerative free muscle flaps for various reconstructive procedures and neuroprosthetic applications, there is great interest and value in their enhanced regeneration, revascularization, and reinnervation for improved functional recovery. Here, we implant polyimide-based...
