Magnetic Helical Microswimmers Functionalized with Lipoplexes for Targeted Gene Delivery
Famin Qiu,Satoshi Fujita,Satoshi Fujita,Rami Mhanna,Li Zhang,Benjamin R. Simona,Bradley J. Nelson +6 more
TL;DR: The successful wirelessly targeted and single‐cell gene delivery to human embryonic kidney cells using ABFs loaded with plasmid DNA (pDNA) in vitro is demonstrated for the first time.

Tuning electrospinning parameters for production of 3D-fiber-fleeces with increased porosity for soft tissue engineering applications.
TL;DR: 3D-fiber fleeces can be produced with controlled properties, being prerequisites for successful scaffolds in tissue engineering applications, and electrospinning parameters affect fiber diameter and alignment in an inverse relation.
Multifunctional 3D electrode platform for real-time in situ monitoring and stimulation of cardiac tissues
Ning Zhang,Flurin Stauffer,Benjamin R. Simona,Feng Zhang,Zhao-Ming Zhang,Ning-Ping Huang,Janos Vörös +6 more
TL;DR: A platinum based 3D pillar electrode platform with cell growth guiding channel, which allows integrated, continuous electrical stimulation and recording of the cardiac tissues and has a potential to be applied in drug screening for in situ monitoring the biophysical parameters of the heart tissue in real-time.

Surface presentation of functional peptides in solution determines cell internalization efficiency of TAT conjugated nanoparticles.
Nevena Todorova,Ciro Chiappini,Morgan Mager,Benjamin R. Simona,Imran I. Patel,Molly M. Stevens,Irene Yarovsky +6 more
TL;DR: It is found that cell internalization correlates with the positive charge distribution achieved prior to nanoparticle encountering interactions with membrane, which helps to maximize the internalization efficacy of TAT-functionalized nanoparticles.

Locally controlling mesenchymal stem cell morphogenesis by 3D PDGF-BB gradients towards the establishment of an in vitro perivascular niche
Philipp S. Lienemann,Philipp S. Lienemann,Yannick R Devaud,Yannick R Devaud,Raphael Reuten,Benjamin R. Simona,Maria Karlsson,Wilfried Weber,Manuel Koch,Matthias P. Lutolf,Vincent Milleret,Martin Ehrbar +11 more
TL;DR: An in vitro model that begins to mimic the spatiotemporally controlled presentation of biological cues within the in vivo perivascular niche, namely a stably localized platelet-derived growth factor B (PDGF-BB) gradient is presented.
