In article number 1701713 , Kevin J. Otto, Jack W. Judy, Christine E. Schmidt and co‐workers review the latest in peripheral nerve interfaces, peripheral nerve tissue engineering, and the intersection of these fields to create regenerative peripheral nerve interfaces. With these devices, axons regenerate into a hydrogel‐like environment that allows them to intimately interface with electrodes. This technology could ultimately be used to control robotic prostheses.
