cellular adhesion and formation of the fibrous scar tissue. Special coatings and
immobilization of active biological molecules can be designed to either mimic
an extracellular matrix or provide cell binding domains. Stimulation of natural
neuroplasticity in the brain using such active implants represents an exciting
possibility. Only intense interdisciplinary research crossing engineering,
chemistry, material science and neurobiology will be able to answer such
demands.
