## Abstract The objective of this study was to test the hypothesis that bovine dermal fibroblasts can survive aerosol delivery via an airbrush with mean cell survival rates greater than 50%. This technology has great implications for burn and other wound therapies, for delivery of genetically alter

Abstract
We developed a two fluid atomizer to spray mammalian cells suspended in phosphate buffered saline (PBS)βPluronic Fβ127 polymer solutions. We used the device to spray suspensions of bovine articular chondrocytes and porcine tracheal epithelial cells, in either PBS or the polymer solutions, and studied their viability and growth kinetics. Under the operating conditions examined in this study, the cells had better than 70% viability after spraying, the growth rates were comparable to cells that were not sprayed, and the appearance of the cells at confluence was normal.

## Abstract Positive dielectrophoresis can be used to create aggregates of animal cells with 3D architectures. It is shown that the cells, when pulled together into an aggregate by positive dielectrophoresis in a lowβconductivity isoβosmotic solution, adhere to each other. The adherence of the cell
## Abstract Gene delivery from tissue engineering scaffolds has potential to promote localized transgene expression that can induce the formation of functional tissues. Substrateβmediated delivery, an alternative delivery strategy to sustained release, is based on immobilization of DNA complexes to
