Brain-machine interfaces enable symptomatic treatment of neurodegenerative diseases by modulating neural activities and enjoy great popularity when brain tissue is assessed ex vivo. However, current-use interface materials are troubled by numerous challenges concerning loss of long-term adhesion, rejection reactions, and glial scarring. We show that ion-implanted titania nanotube scaffolds (TNS) are a promising candidate for dealing with these issues because they combine high biocompatibility with adequate electrical conductivity. Based on our experiments, we explain how changes in the adsorption of laminin and the viability/adhesion of neurons and glial cells caused by ion implantation can be described by alterations in surface characterisics. The high neuron viability observed on all TNS, but suppressed glial cell formation on implanted TNS, demonstrates the potential as a future interface material.
