A sound approach to advancing healthcare systems: the future of biomedical acoustics

Nat Commun. 2022 Jun 16;13(1):3459. doi: 10.1038/s41467-022-31014-y.

Abstract

Newly developed acoustic technologies are playing a transformational role in life science and biomedical applications ranging from the activation and inactivation of mechanosensitive ion channels for fundamental physiological processes to the development of contact-free, precise biofabrication protocols for tissue engineering and large-scale manufacturing of organoids. Here, we provide our perspective on the development of future acoustic technologies and their promise in addressing critical challenges in biomedicine.
