    Abstract Electrical impedance biosensors are powerful and continuously being developed for various biological sensing applications. In this line, the sensitivity of impedance biosensors embedded with microfluidic technologies, such as sheath flow focusing, dielectrophoretic focusing, and interdigitated electrode arrays, can still be greatly improved. In particular, reagent consumption reduction and analysis time-shortening features can highly increase the analytical capabilities of such biosensors. Moreover, the reliability and efficiency of analyses are benefited by microfluidics-enabled automation. Through the use of mature microfluidic technology, complicated biological processes can be shrunk and integrated into a single microfluidic system (e.g., lab-on-a-chip or micro-total analysis systems). By incorporating electrical impedance biosensors, hand-held and bench-top microfluidic systems can be easily developed and operated by personnel without professional training. Furthermore, the impedance spectrum provides broad information regarding cell size, membrane capacitance, cytoplasmic conductivity, and cytoplasmic permittivity without the need for fluorescent labeling, magnetic modifications, or other cellular treatments. In this review article, a comprehensive summary of microfluidics-based impedance biosensors is presented. The structure of this article is based on the different substrate material categorizations. Moreover, the development trend of microfluidics-based impedance biosensors is discussed, along with difficulties and challenges that may be encountered in the future.

    Abstract Seamless integration and conformal contact of soft electronics with tissue surfaces have emerged as major challenges in realizing accurate monitoring of biological signals. However, the mechanical mismatch between the electronics and biological tissues impedes the conformal interfacing between them. Attempts have been made to utilize soft hydrogels as the bioelectronic materials to realize tissue-comfortable bioelectronics. However, hydrogels have several limitations in terms of their electrical and mechanical properties. In this study, we present the development of a 3D-printable modulus-tunable hydrogel with multiple functionalities. The hydrogel has a cross-linked double network, which greatly improves its mechanical properties. Functional fillers such as XLG or functionalized carbon nanotubes (fCNT) can be incorporated into the hydrogel to provide tunable mechanics (Young's modulus of 10-300 kPa) and electrical conductivity (electrical conductivity of ∼20 S/m). The developed hydrogel exhibits stretchability (∼1000% strain), self-healing ability (within 5 min), toughness (400-731 kJ/m

    Abstract For the past decades, several bioadhesives have been developed to replace conventional wound closure medical tools such as sutures, staples, and clips. The bioadhesives are easy to use and can minimize tissue damage. They are designed to provide strong adhesion with stable mechanical support on tissue surfaces. However, this monofunctionality of the bioadhesives hinders their practical applications. In particular, a bioadhesive can lose its intended function under harsh tissue environments or delay tissue regeneration during wound healing. Based on several natural and synthetic biomaterials, functional bioadhesives have been developed to overcome the aforementioned limitations. The functional bioadhesives are designed to have specific characteristics such as antimicrobial, cell infiltrative, stimuli-responsive, electrically conductive, and self-healing to ensure stability under harsh tissue conditions, facilitate tissue regeneration, and effectively monitor biosignals. Herein, we thoroughly review the functional bioadhesives from their fundamental background to recent progress with their practical applications for the enhancement of tissue healing and effective biosignal sensing. Furthermore, the future perspectives on the applications of functional bioadhesives and current challenges in their commercialization are also discussed.

    Abstract Recent advances in diagnostics and medicines emphasize the spatial and temporal aspects of monitoring and treating diseases. However, conventional therapeutics, including oral administration and injection, have difficulties meeting these aspects due to physiological and technological limitations, such as long-term implantation and a narrow therapeutic window. As an innovative approach to overcome these limitations, electronic devices known as electronic drugs (e-drugs) have been developed to monitor real-time body signals and deliver specific treatments to targeted tissues or organs. For example, ingestible and patch-type e-drugs could detect changes in biomarkers at the target sites, including the gastrointestinal (GI) tract and the skin, and deliver therapeutics to enhance healing in a spatiotemporal manner. However, medical treatments often require invasive surgical procedures and implantation of medical equipment for either short or long-term use. Therefore, approaches that could minimize implantation-associated side effects, such as inflammation and scar tissue formation, while maintaining high functionality of e-drugs, are highly needed. Herein, the importance of the spatial and temporal aspects of medical treatment is thoroughly reviewed along with how e-drugs use cutting-edge technological innovations to deal with unresolved medical challenges. Furthermore, diverse uses of e-drugs in clinical applications and the future perspectives of e-drugs are discussed.

    Abstract Coronary artery bypass grafting is commonly used to treat cardiovascular diseases by replacing blocked blood vessels with autologous or artificial blood vessels. Nevertheless, the availability of autologous vessels in infants and the elderly and low long-term patency rate of grafts hinder extensive application of autologous vessels in clinical practice. The biological and mechanical properties of the resealable antithrombotic artificial vascular graft (RAAVG) fabricated herein, comprising a bioelectronic conduit based on a tough self-healing polymer (T-SHP) and a lubricious inner coating, match with the functions of autologous blood vessels. The self-healing and elastic properties of the T-SHP confer resistance against mechanical stimuli and promote conformal sealing of suturing regions, thereby preventing leakage (stable fixation under a strain of 50%). The inner layer of the RAAVG presents antibiofouling properties against blood cells and proteins, and antithrombotic properties, owing to its lubricious coating. Moreover, the blood-flow sensor fabricated using the T-SHP and carbon nanotubes is seamlessly integrated into the RAAVG via self-healing and allows highly sensitive monitoring of blood flow at low and high flow rates (10- and 100 mL min

    Abstract In the last decades, bioengineers have developed myriad biomaterials for regenerative medicine. Development of screening techniques is essential for understanding complex behavior of cells in the biological microenvironments. Conventional approaches to the screening of cellular behavior in vitro have limitations in terms of accuracy, reusability, labor-intensive screening, and versatility. Thus, drug screening and toxicology test through in vitro screening platforms have been underwhelming. Recent advances in the high-throughput screening platforms somewhat overcome the limitations of in vitro screening platforms via repopulating human tissues' biophysical and biomchemical microenvironments with the ability to continuous monitoring of miniaturized human tissue behavior. Herein, we review current trends in the screening platform in which a high-throughput system composed of engineered microarray devices is developed to investigate cell-biomaterial interaction. Furthermore, diverse methods to achieve continuous monitoring of cell behavior via developments of biosensor integrated high-throughput platforms, and future perspectives on high-throughput screening will be provided.

    Abstract Accurate postoperative assessment of varying mechanical properties is crucial for customizing patient-specific treatments and optimizing rehabilitation strategies following Achilles tendon (AT) rupture and reconstruction surgery. This study introduces a wireless, chip-less, and immune-tolerant in vivo strain-sensing suture designed to continuously monitor mechanical stiffness variations in the reconstructed AT throughout the healing process. This innovative sensing suture integrates a standard medical suturing thread with a wireless fiber strain-sensing system, which incorporates a fiber strain sensor and a double-layered inductive coil for wireless readout. The winding design of Au nanoparticle-based fiber electrodes and a hollow core contribute to the fiber strain sensor's high sensitivity (factor of 6.2 and 15.1 pF for revised sensitivity), negligible hysteresis, and durability over 10,000 stretching cycles. To ensure biocompatibility and immune tolerance during extended in vivo periods, an antibiofouling lubricant layer was applied to the sensing suture. Using this sensing system, we successfully monitored the strain responses of the reconstructed AT in an in vivo porcine model. This facilitated the postoperative assessment of mechanical stiffness variations through a well-established analytical model during the healing period.

    Abstract Brain-machine interfaces (BMIs) that link the brain to a machine are promising for the treatment of neurological disorders through the bi-directional translation of neural information over extended periods. However, the longevity of such implanted devices remains limited by the deterioration of their signal sensitivity over time due to acute inflammation from insertion trauma and chronic inflammation caused by the foreign body reaction. To address this challenge, a lubricated surface is fabricated to minimize friction during insertion and avoid immunogenicity during neural signal recording. Reduced friction force leads to 86% less impulse on the brain tissue, and thus immediately increases the number of measured signal electrodes by 102% upon insertion. Furthermore, the signal measurable period increases from 8 to 16 weeks due to the prevention of gliosis. By significantly reducing insertion damage and the foreign body reaction, the lubricated immune-stealthy probe surface (LIPS) can maximize the longevity of implantable BMIs.

    Abstract Implantable biomedical devices require an anti-biofouling, mechanically robust, low friction surface for a prolonged lifespan and improved performance. However, there exist no methods that could provide uniform and effective coatings for medical devices with complex shapes and materials to prevent immune-related side effects and thrombosis when they encounter biological tissues. Here, we report a lubricant skin (L-skin), a coating method based on the application of thin layers of bio-adhesive and lubricant-swellable perfluoropolymer that impart anti-biofouling, frictionless, robust, and heat-mediated self-healing properties. We demonstrate biocompatible, mechanically robust, and sterilization-safe L-skin in applications of bioprinting, microfluidics, catheter, and long and narrow medical tubing. We envision that diverse applications of L-skin improve device longevity, as well as anti-biofouling attributes in biomedical devices with complex shapes and material compositions.

    Abstract Hydrogels have the potential to play a crucial role in bioelectronics, as they share many properties with human tissues. However, to effectively bridge the gap between electronics and biological systems, hydrogels must possess multiple functionalities, including toughness, stretchability, self-healing ability, three-dimensional (3D) printability, and electrical conductivity. Fabricating such tough and self-healing materials has been reported, but it still remains a challenge to fulfill all of those features, and in particular, 3D printing of hydrogel is in the early stage of the research. In this paper, we present a 3D printable, tough, and self-healing multi-functional hydrogel in one platform made from a blend of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA), tannic acid (TA), and poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) hydrogel ink (PVA/TA/PAA hydrogel ink). Based on a reversible hydrogen-bond (H-bond)-based double network, the developed 3D printable hydrogel ink showed excellent printability via shear-thinning behavior, allowing high printing resolution (~100 μm) and successful fabrication of 3D-printed structure by layer-by-layer printing. Moreover, the PVA/TA/PAA hydrogel ink exhibited high toughness (tensile loading of up to ~45.6 kPa), stretchability (elongation of approximately 650%), tissue-like Young's modulus (~15 kPa), and self-healing ability within 5 min. Furthermore, carbon nanotube (CNT) fillers were successfully added to enhance the electrical conductivity of the hydrogel. We confirmed the practicality of the hydrogel inks for bioelectronics by demonstrating biocompatibility, tissue adhesiveness, and strain sensing ability through PVA/TA/PAA/CNT hydrogel ink.
