Three Dimensional Electronic Networks

Cellular-scale, Injectable Electronics Three dimensional electronic networks consist of advanced materials in open-mesh architectures designed to provide scaffolds for cell growth, in which active electronic functionality can be distributed throughout in a manner that allows for precision sensing and precise control of migration, proliferation and differentiation.  Such constructs provide unique capabilities in the fundamental study of cellular processes and in the engineering of tissue cultures.
