Microfluidic Micropillar Arrays for 3D Cell Culture
Cell-based assays are one of the most important steps to select huge amount of drug candidates in drug discovery. To get more credible assay results, cell culture in the form of microscale environment and three-dimension has been exploited by microfluidic hydrodynamic focusing. However, the method still needs an enhanced reliability of scaffold formation and fast cell immobilization in a microc...
متن کامل3D Microfluidic Cell Culture Models for Potential Stem Cell Therapies
Over the last decades stem cell biology has fundamentally transformed our understanding of biological functions on a cellular and organism level and stem cell research has become ubiquitous in today's scientific world. Despite the wide spread use of stem cells in biomedical research, their clinical applications remain in certain situations constrained by potential ethical implications including...
متن کاملMicrofluidic arrays for logarithmically perfused embryonic stem cell culture.
We present a microfluidic device for culturing adherent cells over a logarithmic range of flow rates. The device sets flow rates through four separate cell-culture chambers using syringe-driven flow and a network of fluidic resistances. The design is easy to fabricate with no on-chip valves and is scalable both in the number of culture chambers as well as in the range of applied flow rates. Usi...
متن کاملHot embossing for fabrication of a microfluidic 3D cell culture
Clinically relevant studies of cell function in vitro require a physiologically-representative microenvironment possessing aspects such as a 3D extracellular matrix (ECM) and controlled biochemical and biophysical parameters. A polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) microfluidic system with a 3D collagen gel has previously served for analysis of factors inducing different responses of cells in a 3D microe...
متن کاملAutomated cell culture in high density tubeless microfluidic device arrays.
Microfluidics is poised to have an impact on life sciences research. However, current microfluidic methods are not compatible with existing laboratory liquid dispensing and detection infrastructure. This incompatibility is a barrier to adoption of microfluidic systems and calls for improved approaches that will enhance performance and promote acceptance of microfluidic systems in the life scien...
