Abstract

The emergence of biological microelectromechanical systems (BioMEMS) technology has been spurred by the development of precise microscale fabrication techniques across a wide range of biomaterials substrates. BioMEMS devices are now finding application in areas ranging from genomics and proteomics to clinical diagnostics and implantable drug delivery systems. The design principles of early lab-on-a-chip devices for point-of-care diagnostics are now being extended to platforms for tissue engineering.
