Spatially Patterned Neural and Cardiac Differentiation of Embryoid Body (eb) in a Microfluidic Device
Experiments using a micro-device, consisting of two flow channels and 3 pillars standing at the channel crossing, firstly showed that an embryoid body (EB) of iPS cells can be differentiated into neural and cardiac cells in a spatially patterned manner. Theoretical simulation showed that the chemical gradients can be kept at the crossing even with small flowing velocity of 0.1uL/min. It demonst...
متن کاملA PDMS-Based Microfluidic Hanging Drop Chip for Embryoid Body Formation.
The conventional hanging drop technique is the most widely used method for embryoid body (EB) formation. However, this method is labor intensive and limited by the difficulty in exchanging the medium. Here, we report a microfluidic chip-based approach for high-throughput formation of EBs. The device consists of microfluidic channels with 6 × 12 opening wells in PDMS supported by a glass substra...
متن کاملMicrofluidic platform for controlling the differentiation of embryoid bodies.
Embryonic stem (ES) cells are pluripotent cells, which can differentiate into any cell type. This cell type has often been implicated as an eminent source of renewable cells for tissue regeneration and cellular replacement therapies. Studies on manipulation of the various differentiation pathways have been at the forefront of research. There are many ways in which ES cells can be differentiated...
متن کاملEmbryonic stem cell bioprinting for uniform and controlled size embryoid body formation.
Embryonic stem cells (ESCs) are pluripotent with multilineage potential to differentiate into virtually all cell types in the organism and thus hold a great promise for cell therapy and regenerative medicine. In vitro differentiation of ESCs starts with a phase known as embryoid body (EB) formation. EB mimics the early stages of embryogenesis and plays an essential role in ESC differentiation i...
متن کاملMicrofabric Vessels for Embryoid Body Formation and Rapid Differentiation of Pluripotent Stem Cells
Various scalable three-dimensional culture systems for regenerative medicine using human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) have been developed to date. However, stable production of hiPSCs with homogeneous qualities still remains a challenge. Here, we describe a novel and simple embryoid body (EB) formation system using unique microfabricated culture vessels. Furthermore, this culture sys...
