The Darling Lab article “Selection of Force Sensors for In Situ Measurement of Neotissue Microenvironments” was accepted for publication in Tissue Engineering, Part A. This study investigated how the size, elastic modulus, and surface coating of microscale sensors affects forces exerted on them when embedded within stem cell spheroids. Major findings provide insight on how sensor selection impacts accuracy/precision, measurement heterogeneity within a neotissue, and the direction/magnitude of microenvironmental forces. The paper will be published as part of a special issue honoring Dr. Kyriacos A. Athanasiou in celebration of his Lifetime Achievement Award from TERMIS-AM. Congratulations to lead author Marta Rodriguez Navas!
