Since biological systems are based on cell-cell interactions and the transduction of biosignals between cells, the possibility to interface cells to organic materials to be integrated in electronic devices will be here reviewed. Although these devices have been extensively studied as chemical [8, 25] and biological sensors [9, 26, 27] , the possibility of interfacing them with living cells requires that the organic electronic material establishes a stable interface with water and conducts not only electronic but also ionic carriers. In conclusion, both organic transistors and MCLs possess the requisites necessary for devices of interest in life science applications and possess such a high sensitivity as to even be able to detect single cells; very recently, an interesting combination between an OFET and a polymer cantilever platform was proposed.	./cache/cord-288444-0vv4neq6.txt	./txt/cord-288444-0vv4neq6.txt
