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...
