Living muscle-driven pumps with flow loop feedback

Submitted by Zhengwei Li on

Tissue-engineered living machines is an emerging discipline that employs complex interactions between living cells and engineered scaffolds to self-assemble biohybrid systems for diverse scientific research and technological applications. Here, we report an adaptive, autonomous biohybrid pumping machine with flow loop feedback powered by engineered living muscles. The tissue is made from skeletal muscle cells (C2C12) and collagen I/Matrigel matrix, which self-assembles into a ring that compresses a soft hydrogel tube connected at both ends to a rigid fluidic platform.

Designing architected materials, M Ashby, Scripta Materialia, 2013

 

Novelty/impact/significance:

The idea of seeking unknow higher-performance materials from known materials, the novel route by making hybrid or architectured materials, the corresponding methodology with concise fundamentals for optimized properties from constituents and configurations are described. The entire presentation is clear, coherent, and complete, a classical, lasting work in this field.
