Stretchable Porous Membranes for Barrier Tissue Models with Real-Time Measurement and Biomimetic Cyclic Strain.

ABSTRACT: In recent years, the development of stretchable electronic devices with mechanical properties similar to those of human tissues has attracted increasing research interest in biomedical engineering, wearables, and other fields. These devices have demonstrated, and some other researchers have already shown, promising advancements towards applications that span from measurements of the disruption of model barrier tissues to wearable or implantable devices, soft robotics, and the development of flexible and stretchable batteries. For example, models of barrier tissues, consisting of two compartments separated by a porous membrane, have been used to measure their integrity as well as to investigate the passage of drugs, toxins, and cancer cells through these tissues. Some of these models includ
