Engineered hybrid cardiac patches with multifunctional electronics for online monitoring and regulation of tissue function
Ron Feiner,Leeya Engel,Sharon Fleischer,Maayan Malki,Idan Gal,Assaf Shapira,Yosi Shacham-Diamand,Tal Dvir +7 more
TL;DR: An engineered cardiac patch is reported that integrates cardiac cells with flexible, free-standing electronics and a 3D nanocomposite scaffold that exhibited robust electronic properties, enabling the recording of cellular electrical activities and the on-demand provision of electrical stimulation for synchronizing cell contraction.

Extracellular matrix micropatterning technology for whole cell cryogenic electron microscopy studies.
Leeya Engel,Guido Gaietta,Liam P. Dow,Liam P. Dow,Mark F. Swift,Gaspard Pardon,Niels Volkmann,William I. Weis,Dorit Hanein,Beth L. Pruitt,Beth L. Pruitt +10 more
TL;DR: This work reports a technology to enable direct observation of mesoscale organization in epithelial cells under morphological modulation, using a maskless protein photopatterning method (PRIMO) to confine cells to ECM micropatterns on electron microscopy substrates.
Actuation of a novel Pluronic-based hydrogel: Electromechanical response and the role of applied current
Leeya Engel,O. Berkh,Kehinde Adesanya,Jenny Shklovsky,Els Vanderleyden,Peter Dubruel,Yosi Shacham-Diamand,Slava Krylov +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, a pluronic-based hydrogel copolymer was synthesized and actuated and the combined properties of improved biocompatability and response to electrical excitation of this cross-linked gel make it a potential candidate for actuators such as electrically controllable occlusion devices and non-surgical implants.

Nano-imprinting lithography of P(VDF-TrFE-CFE) for flexible freestanding MEMS devices
TL;DR: In this article, a sacrificial layer beneath a spin-coated layer of P(VDF-TrFE-CFE) is presented as an alternative method of creating freestanding membranes.

Freestanding smooth micron-scale polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) membranes by thermal imprinting
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used thermal imprinting for the formation of micron-scale, freestanding, dielectric layers of poly(dimethylsiloxane) for three-dimensional elastomeric membrane micro-electro-mechanical system applications where the structural material is part of the actuator and the lateral expansion is by vertically applied bias.
