Abstract:
Exemplary embodiments provide systems, devices and methods for simultaneously measuring mechanical and electrophysiological tissue responses (e.g., contractile function, or the like).
Abstract:
The present invention provides polymeric fiber scaffolds, methods and devices suitable for fabricating such polymeric fiber scaffolds, and uses thereof for wound healing.
Abstract:
Exemplary embodiments provide systems, devices and methods for the fabrication of three-dimensional polymeric fibers having micron, submicron and nanometer dimensions, as well as methods of use of the polymeric fibers.
Abstract:

Abstract:
Microfluidic systems including a housing configured to receive a cartridge, the cartridge including a plurality of wells for receiving one or more biological cells are described herein. The microfluidic systems include a structure with channels for introducing a medium into the housing and through channels the cartridge. Microfluidic systems including a housing configured to receive a cartridge, the housing including channels for loading one or more biological cells within wells of the cartridge are described herein. Three-dimensional scaffolds, devices, and systems comprising such scaffolds that mimic the in vivo structure, physical properties, and protein composition of extracellular matrix surrounding pancreatic islet cells and adipocytes, and the use of such compositions, devices and systems for, e.g., in vitro drug screening and/or toxicity assays, disease modeling, and therapeutic applications are also described herein.

Exemplary embodiments provide systems, devices and methods for the fabrication of three-dimensional polymeric fibers having micron, submicron and nanometer dimensions, as well as methods of use of the polymeric fibers.
Abstract:
Systems and methods for focused direction deposition of a micron or nanometer dimension polymeric fiber and materials of such fibers are described herein. Systems and methods employ one or more gas flows to entrain and deflect fibers produced by a rotary jet spinning system forming a focused fiber stream. Some embodiments enable control of alignment and distribution of the fibers with a relatively high fiber throughput.
