Biocompatibility and effectiveness of MOSD after 8-week implant. a, b Immunostaining of mice sciatic nerve after 8 weeks MOSD implant. c, d Withdrawal latency of mice in von Frey test. MOSD were implanted into sciatic nerve for 4 weeks. nimplant = 4 mice, nno implant = 6 mice, Unpaired t-test. e, f Withdrawal latency of mice in Hargreaves test. MOSD were implanted into sciatic nerve for 4 weeks. Sham operation group were taken as control. nimplant = 4 mice, nno implant = 6 mice, Unpaired t-test. g, h Immunostaining of mice C7 nerve after 8 weeks MOSD implant in the root and division end. i, j Schematics and images of mice with MOSD implant. Adapter for the MOSD implant was fixed onto the skull. k Different upper limb movements were elicited by mini-LEDs of MOSD (81.6 mW, calculated light intensity at the distal end was 539.2 mW mm−2, 20 msec-on/2 sec-off) 3 weeks after the C7 implant. Black lines represented the position of upper limb before mini-LED stimulation. Red lines represented the position of upper limb after mini-LED stimulation. Data are presented as mean ± s.e.m. Scale bars are 200 µm (a, b, g, h)
