Figure 1. Schematic illustration of the hybrid microelectronic tissue concept.

Figure 1

The device is manufactured on a silicon wafer in 2D and is then released to yield freestanding porous electronics. Drug loaded electroactive polymer layers are deposited on the central electrodes followed by electrospinning of PCL-gelatin nanofibers to create a scaffold for cell seeding. The resulting hybrid tissue can then be used to monitor tissue function, intervene through electrical stimulation and controlled release of drugs.
