Nanostructured, electrically active scaffolds can be used to control the orientation of muscle fibers and to accelerate muscle regeneration ex vivo. It is envisaged that such scaffolds can be used in bionic devices for interfacing with muscular tissues as well as neural tissues. Further details can be found in the Communication by G. G. Wallace, R. M. I. Kapsa, and co‐workers on page 801 .
