Abstract To create life‐like movements, living muscle actuator technologies have borrowed inspiration from biomimetic concepts in developing bioinspired robots. Here, the development of a soft robotics system, with integrated self‐actuating cardiac muscles on hierarchically structured scaffold flexible gold microelectrodes is reported. Inspired by movement organisms, batoid‐fish‐shaped substrate designed and reported, which composed two micropatterned hydrogel layers. The first layer...
Advances in tissue clearing and molecular labeling methods are enabling unprecedented optical access to large intact biological systems. These developments fuel the need for high-speed microscopy approaches image samples quantitatively at high resolution. While light sheet (LSM), with its planar imaging speed low photo-bleaching, can be effective, scaling up larger volumes has been hindered by use of orthogonal illumination. To address this fundamental limitation, we have developed theta...
Tissue engineering has emerged as a viable approach to treat disease or repair damage in tissues and organs. One of the key elements for success tissue is use scaffold serving artificial extracellular matrix (ECM). The ECM hosts cells improves their survival, proliferation, differentiation, enabling formation new tissue. Here, we propose development class protein/polysaccharide-based porous scaffolds substitutes cardiac engineering. Scaffolds based on blends protein component, collagen...
Abstract We utilized forebrain organoids generated from induced pluripotent stem cells of patients with a syndromic form Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) homozygous protein-truncating mutation in CNTNAP2 , to study its effects on embryonic cortical development. Patients this present clinical characteristics brain overgrowth. Patient-derived displayed an increase volume and total cell number that is driven by increased neural progenitor proliferation. Single-cell RNA sequencing revealed...
Drug discovery for diseases such as Parkinson's disease are impeded by the lack of screenable cellular phenotypes. We present an unbiased phenotypic profiling platform that combines automated cell culture, high-content imaging, Cell Painting, and deep learning. applied this to primary fibroblasts from 91 patients matched healthy controls, creating largest publicly available Painting image dataset date at 48 terabytes. use fixed weights a convolutional neural network trained on ImageNet...
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is considered an inflammatory and neurodegenerative disease of the central nervous system, typically resulting in significant neurological disability that worsens over time. While considerable progress has been made defining immune system's role MS pathophysiology, contribution intrinsic CNS-cell dysfunction remains unclear. Here, we generated largest reported collection iPSC lines from people with spanning diverse clinical subtypes differentiated them into...
Bioinspired soft robotic systems that mimic living organisms using engineered muscle tissue and biomaterials are revolutionizing the current biorobotics paradigm, especially in biomedical research. Recreating artificial life-like actuation dynamics is crucial for a soft-robotic system. However, precise control tuning of behavior still represents one main challenges modern systems. This method describes low-cost, highly scalable, easy-to-use procedure to fabricate an electrically controllable...

ABSTRACT Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) represents a major public health burden but translating promising treatment findings from preclinical non-human models of ASD to the clinic has remained challenging. The recent development forebrain organoids generated human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) derived subjects with brain disorders is method study human-specific neurobiology, and may facilitate novel therapeutics. In this study, we utilized hiPSCs patients Old Order Amish community...
Abstract The increasing use of automation in cellular assays and cell culture presents significant opportunities to enhance the scale throughput imaging assays, but do so, reliable data quality consistency are critical.
