5D Electro-Mechanical Bio-Interface for Neuronal Tissue Engineering
The cellular microenvironment is tightly regulated by biochemical and physical cues. While state of the art electrical and mechanical devices can perturb the biophysical cell niche in 2D monolayers, 3D tissue cultures are considered a much more comprehensive and representative model of the in vivo microenvironment. However, the available biomodulation “toolkit” does not meet the required level of complexity, specificity, and accuracy. This limitation hinders the ability to address basic questions in brain research and to develop new nonpharmacological interventions such as next generation neuroengineering-technologies and biointerfaces. We propose to develop a novel biomaterial for…
