Effects of Therapeutic Targeting of Cancer Associated Fibroblasts on Extracellular Matrix Remodeling in an Engineered Tumor Stroma Model [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
The tumor microenvironment (TME) is a complex combination of stromal cells and extracellular matrix. The cancer-associated fibroblast (CAF) plays an integral role in remodeling the TME and promoting tumor aggression.

Paracrine Factor Local Gradient‐Generating System for Engineering Perfusable Vascularized Hepatocyte Tissues with Perfusion‐Induced Proliferation

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
A paracrine factor local gradient (PFLG)‐generating system enables microvessel penetration across 3D hepatocyte tissues. The resulting vascularized constructs recapitulate hepatic sinusoidal hepatocyte—endothelial contact architecture and enhance hepatic functions in vitro.

A liquid metal alloy antenna based on soft lithography

open access: yesDianzi Jishu Yingyong, 2019
A novel frequency reconfigurable microstrip patch antenna is proposed, which uses liquid metal alloy and highly extensible elastomer as a radiant patch and a dielectric substrate, respectively. The liquid metal used is eutectic gallium-indium alloy(EGaIn)

Thermal Processing Creates Water‐Stable PEDOT:PSS Films for Bioelectronics

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, Volume 37, Issue 13, April 2, 2025.
Instead of using chemical cross–linkers, it is shown that PEDOT:PSS thin films for bioelectronics become water‐stable after a simple heat treatment. The heat treatment is compatible with a range of rigid and elastomeric substrates and films are stable in vivo for >20 days.

Soft lithography contacts to organics

open access: yesMaterials Today, 2005
Organic materials play an increasingly important role in (opto)electronics, particularly in low-cost or flexible devices. A major challenge is the contact between the electrodes and the organic material. Processes developed for inorganic semiconductors are inapplicable because of the sensitivity of organic materials to heat, radiation, and chemicals ...

Optofluidic circular grating distributed feedback dye laser [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
We demonstrate an optically pumped surface emitting optofluidic dye laser using a second-order circular grating distributed feedback resonator. We present a composite bilayer soft lithography technique specifically developed for the fabrication of our ...

Two Material Properties from One Wavelength‐Orthogonal Photoresin Enabled by a Monochromatic Laser Integrated Stereolithographic Apparatus (Mono LISA)

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, Volume 37, Issue 13, April 2, 2025.
A single object with dual properties – degradable and non‐degradable – is fabricated in a single print simply by switching the printing colors. The advanced multi‐material printing is enabled by the combination of a fully wavelength‐orthogonal photoresin and a monochromatic tunable laser printer, paving the way for precise multi‐material ...

Rapid Fabrication of Self‐Propelled and Steerable Magnetic Microcatheters for Precision Medicine

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
A rapid Joule heating fabrication method for the production of self‐propelling, adaptive microcatheters, with tunable stiffness and integrated microfluidic channels is presented. Demonstrated through three microrobotic designs, including a steerable guiding catheter, an untethered wave‐crawling TubeBot, and a distal‐end propelled microcatheter, it was ...

Disposable ultrasound-sensing chronic cranial window by soft nanoimprinting lithography

open access: yesNature Communications, 2019
Chronic cranial windows (CCW) enable long-term imaging of brain activity, but usually they only provide passive optical access to the tissue. Here the authors develop an active CCW integrated with an ultrasound detector which enables long-term ...

Robust Fabrication of Polymeric Nanowire with Anodic Aluminum Oxide Templates

open access: yesMicromachines, 2019
Functionalization of a surface with biomimetic nano-/micro-scale roughness (wires) has attracted significant interests in surface science and engineering as well as has inspired many real-world applications including anti-fouling and superhydrophobic ...
