Sensors on Flapping Wings (SOFWs) Using Complementary Metal–Oxide–Semiconductor (CMOS) MEMS Technology by Lung-Jieh Yang, Wei-Cheng Wang, Chandrashekhar Tasupalli, Balasubramanian Esakki, Mahammed Inthiyaz Shaik

“…Based on the implemented self-heating flow sensor using U18 complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor (CMOS) MEMS foundry provided by the Taiwan Semiconductor Research Institute (TSRI), the compact sensing region of the flow sensor was incorporated for in situ diagnostics of biomimetic flapping issues. The sensitivity of the CMOS MEMS flow sensor, packaged with a parylene coating of 10 μm thick to prolong the lifetime, was observed as −3.24 mV/V/(m/s), which was below the flow speed of 6 m/s. …”

Developing human upper, lower, and deep lung airway models: Combining different scaffolds and developing complex co-cultures by Rasika S Murkar, Cornelia Wiese-Rischke, Tobias Weigel, Sascha Kopp, Heike Walles

“…As published, designing human alveolar in vitro models require thin scaffold to mimic the required ultra-thin ECM, in addition to assuring right balanced AT1/AT2 ratio for biomimetic representation. We concluded that co-cultivation of primary/stem cells or cell lines has a higher influence on the function of the airway tissue models than the applied scaffolds.…”
