01 / EXPLORE THE INTERFACES
Follow the BCCI interface definitions through contact, conduction, integration and host response.
Tissue & material
Designs adhesion, mechanics and molecular transport in tissue-contacting materials to support the contact and access paths needed for sensing or therapy.
Substrate & interconnect
Addresses how conductive paths are formed and attached on soft substrates to carry signals and power through fabrication and deformation.
Interconnect & chip
Connects deformable wiring to functional components and examines contact resistance, electrical isolation, mechanical compatibility and process compatibility together.
Device & host
Examines fouling, friction, inflammation and foreign-body responses at device surfaces, together with ways to retain the intended biological interaction.
Each publication has one primary theme. Encapsulation and protection span the themes; cross-links and boundary cases appear on individual pages.
02 / READING THE EVIDENCE
Read contributions, limitations and comparison conditions within the evidence reviewed. Verification depth varies by paper.
Nature Communications, 17, 5526 (2026)
A double-network hydrogel bonds to wet tissue through quinone-mediated interactions. Public-text evidence on patch and injectable applications in animal bleeding and incision models supports placement in wet tissue adhesion.
Science Advances, 11(37), eadz1228 (2025)
Lubrication and immobilized BDNF combine resistance to nonspecific attachment with neural interaction. The focus on surface–tissue responses during chronic recording supports a host-interaction assignment.
npj Flexible Electronics, 8, 39 (2024)
Joining dry components and hydrogel–dry interfaces enables assembly of wearable and acute implanted devices. This is an extended component-integration assignment: heterogeneous material assembly extends beyond an interconnect–chip electrical junction.
ACS Nano, 18(19), 12210-12224 (2024)
A chip-free wireless system combines a capacitive fiber sensor, inductive coil and suture fixation. It extends component integration to sensor-system assembly without demonstrating an interconnect–chip junction. Antifouling and tissue fixation provide host and tissue cross-links.
Advanced Functional Materials, 34(31), 2311696 (2024)
Surface-functionalized EGaIn particles form deformable electrochemical electrodes. The work connects to liquid conductors, but its focus on electrode reactivity rather than interconnect continuity makes this an extended assignment.
Advanced Science, 10(12), 2207237 (2023)
Nanoconfinement couples swelling control, mechanics and conductivity in a tissue-contacting hydrogel. Tissue-adaptive mechanics is the primary theme; electrical transport and adhesion are cross-cutting aspects.
Science Advances, 6 (44), eabb0025 (2020)
A lubricated interface on orthopedic fixation hardware is evaluated for bacterial attachment, infection-related inflammation and bone healing. Device-surface biological responses place it within host interaction.
Advanced Functional Materials, 25 (21), 3114-3121 (2015)
Silver-nanowire reinforcement supports electrical transport in stretchable conductive fibers. The abstract’s wearable-electronics focus supports placement under conductive fibers in deformable electrical routing.
