Recent research could eventually change the way people living with prosthetics and spinal cord injury lead their lives. Instead of using neural prosthetic devices -- which suffer from immune-system rejection and are believed to fail due to a material and mechanical mismatch -- a multi-institutional team has developed a brain-friendly extracellular matrix environment of neuronal cells that contain very little foreign material.
