3D microfabrication of biological machines
… medical applications, this idea of building with biological components concurrently brings about a new discipline: “forward engineering” of biological machines and systems. In addition to rebuilding existing systems with cells, this technology enables the design and forward engineering of novel …

3D printing of biological machines for biology and medicine
A cell-based biological machine is a set of sub-components consisting of living cells and cell-instructive micro-environments that interact to perform a prescribed task. Cell types such as neurons, muscle cells, and endothelial cells can be programmed for sensing, information processing, actuation, …

Biofabrication of muscular and neuronal in-vitro tissue for multi-cellular engineered living systems
… One important example is the development of biological machines, namely consisting of motor neurons as a source of processing and activation and skeletal muscle as the actuator of the system. Towards this goal, advances in the generation of a neuro-muscular driven machine require an expansion …

Computational design and analysis of multi-scale polymer machines
… of a biomechanical machine powered by cells. The machines are millimeter sized and are actuated by groups of cells cultured on the machine. These biological machines have important potential applications for drug delivery or chemical sensing. Finite element analysis is used to study these domes so …

Emergent behavior of cells on microfabricated soft polymeric substrates
… have emerged as popular choices for powering biological machines consisting of soft polymeric scaffolds at the micro and macro scales. This is owing to their unique ability to generate spontaneous, synchronous contractions either autonomously or under externally applied fields. Most of the …

Scalable platforms for computation and memory in living cells
Living cells are biological computers - constantly sensing, processing and responding to biological cues they receive over time and space. Devised by evolution, these biological machines are capable of performing many computing and memory operations, some of which are analogous to and some are …

Identification of a Novel Link between the Motor Proteins Dynein and Kinesin-1
… proteins dynein and kinesin are fascinating biological machines which, like vehicles in a city, move various cellular cargoes along cytoskeletal microtubules (MT). In filamentous fungi, these motors are important for the hyphal growth, which is characterized by localized extension at the tip …

DNA-based Artificial Mimics of Cell-surface Machinery
… on highly sophisticated membrane-anchored nano-machines, and enabled by the ability of the cell to regulate their spatio-temporal distribution and interactions. Bottom-up synthetic biology aspires to replicate the rich phenomenology associated with biological systems in artificial cells, …

2D and 3D patterning of molecules and cells
… goal is to be able to understand how cells and biological systems develop and how we can use design to harness cellular function. Two approaches are taken to pattern multiple cell types, and build 2D and 3D substrates. First, a combination of ink jet printing and silane chemistry are used to …
