The traditional two-dimensional (2D) in vitro cell culture system (on a flat support) has long
been used in cancer research. However, this system cannot be fully translated into clinical …

The central nervous system (CNS), consisting of the brain, spinal cord, and retina,
superintends to the acquisition, integration and processing of peripheral information to …

Electroconductive hydrogels (ECHs) are composite biomaterials that bring together the
redox switching and electrical properties of inherently conductive electroactive polymers …

Three-dimensional (3D) culture could partially simulate in vivo conditions. In this work, we
developed a 3D collagen scaffold to investigate cellular properties of MCF-7 cells. The …

There are currently more than 600 diseases characterized as affecting the central nervous
system (CNS) which inflict neural damage. Unfortunately, few of these conditions have …

Carbohydrates (denoted also oligosaccharides or polysaccharides) constitute a large and
diverse class of compounds present in varied materials and have major roles in applications …

In this work, we describe the fabrication and working of a modular microsystem that
recapitulates the functions of the “Neurovascular Unit”. The microdevice comprised a vertical …

Replacement of peripheral nerve autografts with tissue engineered nerve grafts will
potentially resolve the lack of nerve tissue especially in patients with severe concomitant soft …

We present an easy and effective method for the encapsulation of cells inside PEG-based
hydrogel microstructures fabricated using photolithography. High-density arrays of three …

Hydrogels are increasingly considered for creating three-dimensional structures in
miniaturized devices, yet few techniques exist for creating such hydrogel structures. We …
