Rapid Wire Casting: A Multimaterial Microphysiological Platform Enabled by Rapid Casting of Elastic Microwires (Adv. Healthcare Mater. 5/2019)

In article number 1801187 by Milica Radisic, Boyang Zhang, and co‐workers, a scalable, functional, and 96‐well plate compatible platform is presented with innovative multimaterial processing. Three classes of materials are integrated, including built‐in electrodes to drive electrical stimulation for tissue maturation and induce tissue contraction during drug testing; an array of suspended soft elastic microwires used both as anchors for tissue formation and sensors for tissue contraction; and tissue culture grade polystyrene.
