3-Dimensional flexible device for measuring concentric contractile force of in vitro ring-shaped smooth muscle tissue
DongWoo Lee, Byeongwook Jo, Minghao Nie, Shoji TakeuchiA 3-dimensional flexible device with n-shaped pillars converts ring-shaped smooth muscle tissue contraction into a real-time electrical readout, preserving circular geometry. SEBS polymer and Au deposition layers ensure stable electrical responses.
