The paper develops a Limb-on-a-Chip platform for scalable and reproducible neuromuscular tissue engineering, enabling high-resolution imaging and functional analysis of motor neuron-muscle interactions.

This paper develops a high-throughput optogenetic assay for skeletal muscle exercise studies, revealing transcriptional responses to optical stimulation and hypoxia.

This study designs biohybrid muscle-tendon units that improve power-to-weight ratio and modularity in muscle-powered robots by using engineered muscle and hydrogel tendons.

This study uses 2.5D actuating substrates to show that both mechanical and biochemical effects of muscle exercise significantly influence motor neuron growth and maturation.
