Abstract
The inflammatory host tissue response, characterized by gliosis and neuronal death at the neural interface, limits signal transmission and longevity of the neural probe. Substance P induces an anti-inflammatory response and neuronal regeneration and recruits endogenous stem cells. Heparin prevents nonspecific protein adsorption, suppresses the inflammatory response, and is beneficial to neuronal behavior. Poly(l-lactide-co-ε-caprolactone) (PLCL) is a soft and flexible polymer, and PLCL covalently conjugated with biomolecules has been widely used in tissue engineering. Coatings of heparin-conjugated PLCL (Hep-PLCL), substance P-conjugated PLCL (SP-PLCL), and heparin/substance P-conjugated PLCL (Hep/SP-PLCL) reduced the adhesion of astrocytes and fibroblasts and improved neuronal adhesion and neurite development compared to bare glass. The effects of these coatings are evaluated using immunohistochemistry analysis after implantation of coated stainless steel probes in rat brain for 1 week. In particular, Hep/SP-PLCL coating reduced the activation of microglia and astrocytes, the neuronal degeneration caused by inflammation, and indicated a potential for neuronal regeneration at the tissue-device interface. Suppression of the acute host tissue response by coating Hep/SP-PLCL could lead to improved functionality of the neural prosthesis.

Abstract
Research over the past four decades has highlighted the importance of certain brain cells, called glial cells, and has moved the neurocentric vision of structure, function, and pathology of the nervous system toward a more holistic perspective. In this view, the demand for technologies that are able to target and both selectively monitor and control glial cells is emerging as a challenge across neuroscience, engineering, chemistry, and material science. Frequently neglected or marginally considered as a barrier to be overcome between neural implants and neuronal targets, glial cells, and in particular astrocytes, are increasingly considered as active players in determining the outcomes of device implantation. This review provides a concise overview not only of the previously established but also of the emerging physiological and pathological roles of astrocytes. It also critically discusses the most recent advances in biomaterial interfaces and devices that interact with glial cells and thus have enabled scientists to reach unprecedented insights into the role of astroglial cells in brain function and dysfunction. This work proposes glial interfaces and glial engineering as multidisciplinary fields that have the potential to enable significant advancement of knowledge surrounding cognitive function and acute and chronic neuropathologies.

Abstract
Construction of extracellular matrix-mimetic nanofilms has considerable potential in biomedical and nanomedicinal fields. In this work, we fabricated neurocompatible layer-by-layer (LbL) films based on ulvan (ULV), a highly sulfated polysaccharide having compositional similarity to glycosaminoglycans that play important functional roles in the brain. ULV was durably assembled as a film with chitosan, another marine-derived polysaccharide, and the film enabled the stable adhesion of primary hippocampal neurons with high viability, comparable to the conventional poly-d-lysine surface. Notably, the ULV-based LbL films accelerated neurite outgrowth and selectively suppressed the adhesion of astrocytes, highlighting its potential as an advanced platform for neural implants and devices.

Abstract
Poly(allylguanidine) (PAG) was synthesized and characterized as a polycationic coating material for culturing neurons, glial cells, and neural stem/precursor cells (NSPCs) to apply PAG for neural tissue engineering. For comparison, poly-d-lysine (PDL), the golden benchmark of the neuron cell culture system, was also used in this study. When PAG was subjected to a mixed culture of neurons and glial cells, cell adhesion and neurite extension of neuronal cells were clearly observed but only few glial cells could be found alongside the neurons. Compared to PDL, the significantly lower density of the glial fibrillary acidic protein-positive cells implied that PAG suppressed the glial cell development. Likewise, PAG was demonstrated to dominate the differentiation of NSPCs principally into neurons. To investigate whether the different effects of PAG and PDL on neuron and glial cell behaviors resulted from the difference of guanidinium cations and ammonium cations, poly-l-arginine (PLA) was included and compared in this study. Similar to PDL, PLA supported high neuron and glial cell viability simultaneously. Consequently, glial cell growth and viability restrained on PAG was not only affected by the side-chain guanidino groups but also by the backbone structure property. The absence of the peptide structure in the backbone of PAG and the conformation of coated PAG on tissue culture polystyrene possibly determined the polycationic biomaterial to limit the growth of glial cells.

Abstract
Though neural interface systems (NISs) can provide a potential solution for mitigating the effects of limb loss and central nervous system damage, the microelectrode array (MEA) component of NISs remains a significant limiting factor to their widespread clinical applications. Several strategies can be applied to MEA designs to increase their biocompatibility. Herein, an overview of NISs and their applications is provided, along with a detailed discussion of strategies for alleviating the foreign body response (FBR) and abnormalities seen at the interface of MEAs and the brain tissue following MEA implantation. Various surface modifications, including natural/synthetic surface coatings, hydrogels, and topography alterations, have shown to be highly successful in improving neural cell adhesion, reducing gliosis, and increasing MEA longevity. Different MEA surface geometries, such as those seen in the Utah and Michigan arrays, can help alleviate the resultant FBR by reducing insertion damage, while providing new avenues for improving MEA recording performance and resolution. Increasing overall flexibility of MEAs as well as reducing their stiffness is also shown to reduce MEA induced micromotion along with FBR severity. By combining multiple different properties into a single MEA, the severity and duration of an FBR postimplantation can be reduced substantially.

Abstract
Tissue regeneration involves versatile types of cells. The accumulation and disorganized behaviors of undesired cells impair the natural healing process, leading to uncontrolled immune response, restenosis, and/or fibrosis. Cell-selective surfaces and interfaces can have specific and positive effects on desired types of cells, allowing tissue regeneration with restored structures and functions. This review outlines the importance of surfaces and interfaces of biomaterials with cell-selective properties. The chemical and biological cues including peptides, antibodies, and other molecules, physical cues such as topography and elasticity, and physiological cues referring mainly to interactions between cells-cells and cell-chemokines or cytokines are effective modulators for achieving cell selectivity upon being applied into the design of biomaterials. Cell-selective biomaterials have also shown practical significance in tissue regeneration, in particular for endothelialization, nerve regeneration, capture of stem cells, and regeneration of tissues of multiple structures and functions.

Abstract
This work examines the development of primary neurons and astrocytes on thoroughly controlled functional groups. Negatively charged surfaces presenting carboxylate (COO-) or sulfonate (SO3-) groups prove beneficial to neuronal behavior, in spite of their supposed repulsive electrostatic interactions with cellular membranes. The adhesion and survival of primary hippocampal neurons on negatively charged surfaces are comparable to or slightly better than those on positively charged (poly-d-lysine-coated) surfaces, and neuritogenesis and neurite outgrowth are accelerated on COO- and SO3- surfaces. Moreover, such favorable influences of the negatively charged surfaces are only seen in neurons but not for astrocytes. Our results indicate that the in vitro developmental behavior of primary hippocampal neurons is sophisticatedly modulated by angstrom-sized differences in chemical structure or the charge density of the surface. We believe that this work provides new implications for understanding neuron-material interfaces as well as for establishing new ways to fabricate neuro-active surfaces.
