  "summary": "Conducting polymers are widely used in bioelectronic interfaces because of their mixed ionic-electronic conductivity, mechanical compliance, and compatibility with biological systems. However, their electrochemically driven structural dynamics have received little attention as a mechanism for mechanical cell stimulation. Here, we show that electrochemical actuation of…",
