A set of microsensors is requested to make physiology measurements on the micron scale in engineering and whole tissues. Cells and tissues are exceedingly sensitive to their microenvironment and the measurement of bulk properties often does not represent the local conditions that affect a cell or tissue. It is therefore essential that we develop a better understanding of the spatial gradients that are present in order to understand the effect cell growth and health.

为了在工程组织和整个组织中进行微米级的生理测量，需要一套微传感器。细胞和组织对它们的微环境极其敏感，并且体特性的测量通常不能代表影响细胞或组织的局部条件。因此，我们必须更好地了解存在的空间梯度，以便了解细胞生长和健康的影响。
