1. A system for generating a tissue, the system comprising:
a strip of bendable material, the strip comprising:
a first region in proximity to a first end of the strip for coupling to a tissue comprising organic material; and
a second region in proximity to a second end of the strip for coupling to the tissue, the second end being opposite the first end,
wherein the strip is configured to bend to align the first region with the second region; and

a well for generating the tissue, the well comprising:
a region for generating the tissue from a cell culture;
a first slit configured to receive the first end of the strip and expose the first region of the strip to the tissue generation region; and
a second slit configured to receive the second end of the strip and expose the second region of the strip to the region of the well;
wherein the first slit is aligned with the second slit to align the first region of the strip and the second region of the strip in the region to enable the tissue to couple to the first region of the strip and to couple to the second region of the strip during generation of the tissue; and
wherein the strip is removable from the well.
