Description
Summary:A biomodified quaterthiophene semiconductor having lysine‐alpha ends, namely T4Lys, is explored as multifunctional organic neural interface on page 1190. M. Melucci, V. Benfenati, and team show how T4Lys exhibits exceptional properties in terms of adhesion and outgrowth of primary neurons without the need of additional coating, combined to fluorescence, electronic transport of the π‐conjugated framework as well as humidity‐activated ionic conduction. Novel biomodified materials could enable simplified bioelectronic device architecture to interact with neural cells.
