“…[ 18 ] The achieved device diameters of 50 µm are at least two orders of magnitude smaller compared to the stateof-the-art neuronal cuff implants. [ 23 ] We prove biocompatibility of the polymeric platform and demonstrate differentiation and guided Living species possess the ability to adapt their shape during the life cycle, e.g., through growth, replication, healing, or motion. Imitating this behavior of nature archetypes, synthetic systems attain adaptability to environmental changes (e.g., artifi cial irises [ 1 ] adjust to the light intensity) as well as possibility to interact with the environment mechanically [ 2,3 ] or chemically.…”
