Piezoelectric Stimulation of Neural Cells: Exploring the Synergistic Potential of Hybrid Scaffolds for Enhanced Regeneration (Adv. Mater. Interfaces 6/2026)

Piezoelectric This cover highlights the potential of piezoelectric scaffolds, which produce electrical charge in response to a strain, offer a promising route for Central Nervous System regeneration. The image illustrates that the ability to combine structural and electrical cues via such smart scaffolds provides a route to support neural stem cell growth within the spine. More details can be found in the Review Article by Heather Titterton and co-workers (DOI: 10.1002/admi.202500552), which explores porous hybrid materials, their biological interactions, and proposes a standardized framework for evaluating scaffold performance.
