JALA Special Issue: Microengineered Cell- and Tissue-Based Assays for Drug Screening and Toxicology Applications

Year: 2015

Type: article

Abstract: The past two decades have witnessed impressive advances in the integration of microscale engineering with biology. The explosion of genomics and government support for biodefense research in the 1980s led to the inception of a new field now known as biological micro-electro-mechanical systems (bio-MEMS) that focuses on leveraging precision fabrication technologies developed in the microelectronics industry for the study of cells and biomolecules. Remarkable growth accomplished in this field has contributed to numerous conceptual and technological innovations in virtually all areas of life sciences.
