Bridging of conductive tissues with granular hydrogels. a) Schematic and representative image of ex vivo electrical tissue conduction test using isolated skeletal muscles and injection of granular hydrogels between the muscles. b) Electromyogram signals detected in the unstimulated muscle at a stimulation current of 100 mA. The arrows indicate action potential amplitude. c) Action potential amplitude detected in the unstimulated muscle during tissue bridging with the granular hydrogels, from (−)AgNPs, in situ, or pre‐emb microgels. n.d. for not detectable, *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, two‐way ANOVA.
