Fabrication of Hydrogels with Steep Stiffness Gradients for Studying Cell Mechanical Response
Many fundamental cell processes, such as angiogenesis, neurogenesis and cancer metastasis, are thought to be modulated by extracellular matrix stiffness. Thus, the availability of matrix substrates having well-defined stiffness profiles can be of great importance in biophysical studies of cell-substrate interaction. Here, we present a method to fabricate biocompatible hydrogels with a well defi...
متن کاملSimple and Versatile 3D Printed Microfluidics Using Fused Filament Fabrication.
The uptake of microfluidics by the wider scientific community has been limited by the fabrication barrier created by the skills and equipment required for the production of traditional microfluidic devices. Here we present simple 3D printed microfluidic devices using an inexpensive and readily accessible printer with commercially available printer materials. We demonstrate that previously repor...
متن کامل3D Culture of Chondrocytes in Gelatin Hydrogels with Different Stiffness
Gelatin hydrogels can mimic the microenvironments of natural tissues and encapsulate cells homogeneously, which makes them attractive for cartilage tissue engineering. Both the mechanical and biochemical properties of hydrogels can affect the phenotype of chondrocytes. However, the influence of each property on chondrocyte phenotype is unclear due to the difficulty in separating the roles of th...
متن کاملDesign and fabrication of an effective micromixer through passive method
Micromixer is a significant component of microfluidics particularly in lab-on-chip applications so that there has been a growing need for design and fabrication of micromixers with a shorter length and higher efficiency. Despite most of the passive micromixers that suffer from long mixing path and complicated geometry to increase the efficiency, our novel design suggests a highly efficient micr...
متن کاملFabrication of Biomimetic 3d Liver Tissue Using Photodegradable Hydrogels and Perfusion Culture in a Microfluidic Device
This paper reports a novel technique to fabricate perfusable 3D liver tissue in a microfluidic device using photodegradable hydrogels prepared with gelatin. Also, we performed the perfusion culture of human hepatocellular carcinoma (HepG2) cells encapsulated in the patterned hydrogels.
