Generation of alginate microfibers with a roller-assisted microfluidic system.
This work describes a convenient microfluidic strategy with a simple and minimal-requirement design for the generation of uniformly-sized alginate gel fibers with diameters one order of magnitude smaller than those formed in conventional methods. Different from common microfluidic methods, our system contains a single microchannel through which alginate solutions are transported and squeezed in...
متن کاملMicrofluidic Fabrication of Colloidal Nanomaterials-Encapsulated Microcapsules for Biomolecular Sensing.
Implantable sensors that detect biomarkers in vivo are critical for early disease diagnostics. Although many colloidal nanomaterials have been developed into optical sensors to detect biomolecules in vitro, their application in vivo as implantable sensors is hindered by potential migration or clearance from the implantation site. One potential solution is incorporating colloidal nanosensors in ...
متن کاملChitosan-alginate Microfibers Generation on a Microfluidic Chip and Encapsulation of Hepg2 Cells
The successful encapsulation of human hepatocellular carcinoma (HepG2) cells would assist applications in tissue engineering. In this paper, we have developed a method to produce chitosan-alginate microfibers within a microfluidic chip. Also, by suspending cells in the mixing solution, we fabricated HepG2 cell-laden fibers. The encapsulated HepG2 cells in the chitosan–alginate fibers were more ...
متن کاملPreparation of Alginate Microfibers for Cell Entrapment Using a Microfluidic Device
This paper describes a method for the production of multi-compartmental alginate microfibers using a glass microfluidic device. The key parameters, which critically influence the formation of microfibers and their geometries, were identified and their interplay was investigated with a statistical approach by means of a “design of the experiments” optimization and screening. Finally, the process...
متن کاملWet-spinning fabrication of shear-patterned alginate hydrogel microfibers and the guidance of cell alignment
Native tissue is naturally comprised of highly-ordered cell-matrix assemblies in a multi-hierarchical way, and the nano/submicron alignment of fibrous matrix is found to be significant in supporting cellular functionalization. In this study, a self-designed wet-spinning device appended with a rotary receiving pool was used to continuously produce shear-patterned hydrogel microfibers with aligne...
