A biosynthetic platform composed of a conducting polypyrrole sheet embedded with unidirectional biodegradable polymer fibers is described (see image; scale bar = 50 µm). Such hybrid systems can promote rapid directional nerve growth for neuro-regenerative scaffolds and act as interfaces between the electronic circuitry of medical bionic devices and the nervous system.

Metal nanoparticle (NP) incorporated conductive polymer films are attractive for their mechanical stability for biomedical applications and as heterogeneous electrocatalysis materials. Novel approaches to generate these materials with tunable properties are still being sought. Herein, the interface between two immiscible electrolyte solutions (ITIES) has been employed as a molecularly sharp and reproducible platform for simultaneous Au NP and poly(9-vinylcarbazole) generation.

Precise and efficient delivery of macromolecules into cells enhances basic biology research and therapeutic applications in cell therapies, drug delivery, and personalized medicine. While pulsed electric field electroporation effectively permeabilizes cell membranes to deliver payloads without the need for toxic chemical or viral transduction agents, conventional bulk electroporation devices face major challenges with cell viability and heterogeneity due to variations in fields generated across cells and electrochemistry at the electrode-electrolyte interface. Here, we introduce the use of microfabricated electrodes based on the conducting polymer poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) doped with polystyrene sulfonate (PEDOT:PSS), which substantially increases cell viability and transfection efficiency.

The increasing menace of counterfeiting and information theft underscores the urgent need for security platforms compatible with both micro- and nanoelectronics. Existing methods for anticounterfeiting labeling and cryptographic systems rely on unclonable patterns derived from the unpredictable variability of physical phenomena. However, these approaches impose limitations on the scalability of security components.

This review aims to highlight how the unique properties CPHs have from combining their two constituent materials are utilized within the biomedical field. First, the synthesis approaches and applications of non-CPH conductive hydrogels are discussed briefly, contrasting CPH-based systems.

MicroRNA, as a distinctive biomarker, plays a crucial role in the early prognosis and diagnosis of numerous severe diseases. However, due to its inherent properties such as low abundance, small size, and high sequence similarity, the sensitive and accurate detection of microRNA remains a major challenge. Herein, a dual-mode electrochemical biosensing platform was developed for microRNA detection, based on poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) doped with graphene oxide-FeO (GO-FeO) nanocomposite.
