Integrated Closed-loop Control of Bio-actuation for Proprioceptive Bio-hybrid Robots

This paper develops a proprioceptive bio-hybrid robot by integrating a soft mechanical sensor with skeletal muscle tissue to enable self-sensing control.

PERFORATION-TYPE ANCHORS INSPIRED BY SKIN LIGAMENT FOR THE ROBOTIC FACE COVERED WITH LIVING SKIN

This paper develops perforation-type anchors inspired by skin ligaments to attach skin equivalents to robotic surfaces, demonstrating their effectiveness in 3D coverage and actuation.

Centimeter-scale perfusable cultured meat with densely packed, highly aligned muscle fibers via hollow fiber bioreactor

This paper develops a hollow fiber bioreactor to produce centimeter-scale cultured chicken muscle tissue with aligned fibers and improved texture.

In Vitro Proliferation and Long-Term Preservation of Functional Primary Rat Hepatocytes in Cell Fibers

This paper develops a cell fiber-based culture system for primary rat hepatocytes, demonstrating their proliferation and functional maintenance over 30 days, with applications in drug sensing and transplantation.

Focal adhesion membrane is dotted with protein islands and partitioned for molecular hop diffusion

The paper demonstrates that focal adhesion membrane is partitioned into compartments where molecules undergo hop diffusion, with protein islands acting as dynamic hubs for integrin interactions.

Development of ultrafast camera-based imaging of single fluorescent molecules and live-cell PALM

This paper develops an ultrafast camera system for single fluorescent-molecule imaging and live-cell PALM, achieving high temporal and spatial resolution for studying cellular dynamics.

Biofabricating murine and human myo-substitutes for rapid volumetric muscle loss restoration
