Bioelectric and physicochemical foundations of bioelectronics in tissue regeneration.

Understanding and exploiting bioelectric signaling pathways and physicochemical properties of materials that interface with living tissues is central to advancing tissue regeneration. In particular, the emerging field of bioelectronics leverages these principles to develop personalized, minimally invasive therapeutic strategies tailored to the dynamic demands of individual patients. By integrating sensing and actuation modules into flexible, biocompatible devices, clinicians can continuously monitor and modulate local electrical microenvironments, thereby guiding regenerative processes without extensive surgical interventions. This review provides a critical examination of how fundamental bioelectric cues and physicochemical considerations drive the design and engineering of next-generation bioelectronic platforms. These platforms not only promote the formation and maturation of new tissues across neural, cardiac, musculoskeletal, skin, and gastrointestinal systems but also precisely align therapies with the unique structural, functional, and electrophysiological characteristics of each tissue type. Collectively, these insights and innovations represent a convergence of biology, electronics, and materials science that holds tremendous promise for enhancing the efficacy, specificity, and long-term stability of regenerative treatments, ushering in a new era of advanced tissue engineering and patient-centered regenerative medicine.
