Figure 8

Schematic representation of the tissue response around stiff (A) and compliant (B) implants. Stiff implants induce increased gliosis, BBB permeation, and neurodegeneration in comparison to compliant materials. (C) Graphical representation of the peak intensity of specific inflammatory markers over time, which shows a distinct advantage of compliant materials at chronic time points.
