Formation of embryoid bodies using dielectrophoresis.
Embryoid body (EB) formation forms an important step in embryonic stem cell differentiation invivo. In murine embryonic stem cell (mESC) cultures EB formation is inhibited by the inclusion of leukaemic inhibitory factor (LIF) in the medium. Assembly of mESCs into aggregates by positive dielectrophoresis (DEP) in high field regions between interdigitated oppositely castellated electrodes was fou...
متن کاملRapid and high-throughput formation of 3D embryoid bodies in hydrogels using the dielectrophoresis technique.
In this manuscript, we demonstrate the rapid formation of three-dimensional (3D) embryonic stem cell (ESC) aggregates with controllable sizes and shapes in hydrogels using dielectrophoresis (DEP). The ESCs encapsulated within a methacrylated gelatin (GelMA) prepolymer were introduced into a DEP device and, upon applying an electric field and crosslinking of the GelMA hydrogel, formed 3D ESC agg...
متن کاملMatrix Rigidity-Modulated Cardiovascular Organoid Formation from Embryoid Bodies
Stem cell clusters, such as embryoid bodies (EBs) derived from embryonic stem cells, are extensively studied for creation of multicellular clusters and complex functional tissues. It is common to control phenotypes of ES cells with varying molecular compounds; however, there is still a need to improve the controllability of cell differentiation, and thus, the quality of created tissue. This stu...
متن کاملCorrection: Formation of a Polarised Primitive Endoderm Layer in Embryoid Bodies Requires Fgfr/Erk Signalling
The primitive endoderm arises from the inner cell mass during mammalian pre-implantation development. It faces the blastocoel cavity and later gives rise to the extraembryonic parietal and visceral endoderm. Here, we investigate a key step in primitive endoderm development, the acquisition of apico-basolateral polarity and epithelial characteristics by the non-epithelial inner cell mass cells. ...
متن کاملNunclon Sphera surface supports formation of embryoid bodies from pluripotent stem cells
Keeping stem cells in an undifferentiated state is important for expansion and maintenance. However studying the process that stem cells follow to become body tissues requires them to differentiate. The formation of spheroids is an important milestone in the differentiation process. Here we introduce a new cell culture surface, Thermo ScientificTM Nunclon Sphera that supports the in vitro forma...
