It is a pleasure to share with you our recently published work (link below). The research conducted by our all-female team within the framework of the "#iPrintBioprintingElectricalNetwork" project financially supported by the Office of Naval Research and featured in the special issue "Women in emerging organic and hybrid electronic materials and interfaces" of #AdvancedMaterialInterfaces, Wiley, highlight the crucial contribution of women in pushing forward groundbreaking bioelectronics innovation. During the last year, the Tortiglione lab at ISASI Istituto di Scienze Applicate e Sistemi Intelligenti has profoundly explored the intriguing role of OMIECs as novel electrical materials for bioelectronic medicine. Thanks to the unique features of the Hydra vulgaris nervous system, we discovered the novel neuromodulatory role of semiconducting conjugated thiophene-based compounds, traditionally used in bioelectronic interface design. Through various pharmacological approaches and in vivo electrical recordings, we further dissected the functional impact of thiophene-based analogs on distinct neural subnets and specific behavioral responses evoked by these compounds. Thanks to the amazing work of our whole team Claudia Tortiglione, Silvia Santillo, Eleni Stavrinidou, Angela Tino, Martina Blasio, Mariarosaria De Simone, Claudia Zenna and Giuseppina Tommasini
