DISCOVERIES
5
• The meaning of life? Reaction and communication
• “Single cells are destined to die”
• Life is different at the micro- and nahnoscale
• Dynamics create challenges as well as opportunitieso Flow creates evaporation and removal as well as circulation and nutrition
• Skin is a pioneering exampleo Monolayer Full Thickness (FT)
o Short-term culture One year in culture!
o R&D Commercial with multiple vendors

FRONTIERS (SCIENTIFIC)
6
• Use the environment more• Cross the species barrier • Go nano
o Use nanomaterials to deliver co-factors like Ca+2 o Use nanoparticles to enhance transport
• Seek to scaleo Scale down: micro- and nanogeometries may be differento Scale up: 1+1 = ½?
• Co-culture is crucial even in single-organ systems (pancreas – 4% of cells may be the key)• Adding cell types, circulation, neural connections, adipocytes – not easy but necessary
o Adipocytes to skino Stroma to pancreas; stroma to lymph nodeo Endothelial cells to lymph node

FRONTIERS (COMMERCIAL)
7
• Not just normal but also disease models• Think not only “in vitro” but “in silico”• Think “manufacturability”• Think “modular”• Think “multiple price points”• Find immediate needs to satisfy • Seed it with stem cells & iPS cells
