Microfluidic devices for cell cultivation and proliferation.
Microfluidic technology provides precise, controlled-environment, cost-effective, compact, integrated, and high-throughput microsystems that are promising substitutes for conventional biological laboratory methods. In recent years, microfluidic cell culture devices have been used for applications such as tissue engineering, diagnostics, drug screening, immunology, cancer studies, stem cell prol...
متن کاملA gradient-generating microfluidic device for cell biology.
The fabrication and operation of a gradient-generating microfluidic device for studying cellular behavior is described. A microfluidic platform is an enabling experimental tool, because it can precisely manipulate fluid flows, enable high-throughput experiments, and generate stable soluble concentration gradients. Compared to conventional gradient generators, poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS)-based...

ogy in the pharmaceutical industry (1). Over the past decade, there has been a logarithmic increase in the industry’s ability to screen large combinatorial libraries of compounds against target molecules (2). The technology to achieve this has come in the form of robotics, high-density microplates, small volume (microliter) liquid handling, and sophisticated detection schemes. Signifi cant effo...
متن کاملMicrofluidic device for generating a stepwise concentration gradient on a microwell slide for cell analysis.
Understanding biomolecular gradients and their role in biological processes is essential for fully comprehending the underlying mechanisms of cells in living tissue. Conventional in vitro gradient-generating methods are unpredictable and difficult to characterize, owing to temporal and spatial fluctuations. The field of microfluidics enables complex user-defined gradients to be generated based ...
متن کاملCovalently immobilized biomolecule gradient on hydrogel surface using a gradient generating microfluidic device for a quantitative mesenchymal stem cell study.
Precisely controlling the spatial distribution of biomolecules on biomaterial surface is important for directing cellular activities in the controlled cell microenvironment. This paper describes a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) gradient-generating microfluidic device to immobilize the gradient of cellular adhesive Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) peptide on poly (ethylene glycol) (PEG) hydrogel. Hydrogels are fo...
