Journal ArticleDOI

Geometric control of cell life and death.

TL;DR: Human and bovine capillary endothelial cells were switched from growth to apoptosis by using micropatterned substrates that contained extracellular matrix-coated adhesive islands of decreasing size to progressively restrict cell extension.
Journal ArticleDOI

Reconstituting Organ-Level Lung Functions on a Chip

TL;DR: Mechanically active “organ-on-a-chip” microdevices that reconstitute tissue-tissue interfaces critical to organ function may expand the capabilities of cell culture models and provide low-cost alternatives to animal and clinical studies for drug screening and toxicology applications.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mechanotransduction across the cell surface and through the cytoskeleton

TL;DR: The results suggest that integrins act as mechanoreceptors and transmit mechanical signals to the cytoskeleton, which may be mediated simultaneously at multiple locations inside the cell through force-induced rearrangements within a tensionally integrated cytos skeleton.
Journal ArticleDOI

Soft Lithography in Biology and Biochemistry

TL;DR: Soft lithography offers the ability to control the molecular structure of surfaces and to pattern the complex molecules relevant to biology, to fabricate channel structures appropriate for microfluidics, and topattern and manipulate cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

Microfluidic organs-on-chips

TL;DR: A microfluidic cell culture device created with microchip manufacturing methods that contains continuously perfused chambers inhabited by living cells arranged to simulate tissue- and organ-level physiology has great potential to advance the study of tissue development, organ physiology and disease etiology.
