Abstract
A system and method for providing tissue regeneration without the use of scaffolds. The system includes a vessel that contains a fluid suitable for enhancing the tissue regeneration process. An acoustic transducer is provided at one end of the vessel and a reflector is provided at an opposite end of the vessel. The transducer provides an acoustic signal that creates standing acoustic fields in the vessel that confine human cells within the fluid into a plurality of cell sheets. A system of electrodes provides dielectrophoretic forces within the vessel to create cellular chain arrays to provide vascularization for the tissue.
