Integrated biofabrication for electro-addressed in-film bioprocessing.
Many recent advances in bioprocessing have been enabled by developments in miniaturization and microfluidics. A continuing challenge, however, is integrating multiple unit operations that require distinct spatial boundaries, especially with included labile biological components. We have suggested "biofabrication" as a means for organizing cells and biomolecules in complex configurations while p...
متن کاملNovel preparation of controlled porosity particle/fibre loaded scaffolds using a hybrid micro-fluidic and electrohydrodynamic technique.
The purpose of this research was to produce multi-dimensional scaffolds containing biocompatible particles and fibres. To achieve this, two techniques were combined and used: T-Junction microfluidics and electrohydrodynamic (EHD) processing. The former was used to form layers of monodispersed bovine serum albumin (BSA) bubbles, which upon drying formed porous scaffolds. By altering the T-Juncti...
متن کاملBiofabrication of stratified biofilm mimics for observation and control of bacterial signaling.
Signaling between cells guides biological phenotype. Communications between individual cells, clusters of cells and populations exist in complex networks that, in sum, guide behavior. There are few experimental approaches that enable high content interrogation of individual and multicellular behaviors at length and time scales commensurate with the signal molecules and cells themselves. Here we...
متن کاملLaterally Confined Microfluidic Patterning of Cells for Engineering Spatially Defined Vascularization.
A biofabrication strategy for creating planar multiscale protein, hydrogel, and cellular patterns, and simultaneously generating microscale topographical features is developed that laterally confines the patterned cells and direct their growth in cell permissive hydrogels.
متن کاملBiofabrication of Tobacco mosaic virus-nanoscaffolded supercapacitors via temporal capillary microfluidics.
This paper reports the implementation of temporal capillary microfluidic patterns and biological nanoscaffolds in autonomous microfabrication of nanostructured symmetric electrochemical supercapacitors. A photoresist layer was first patterned on the substrate, forming a capillary microfluidics layer with two separated interdigitated microchannels. Tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) macromolecules suspe...
متن کاملIn situ generation of pH gradients in microfluidic devices for biofabrication of freestanding, semi-permeable chitosan membranes.
We report the in situ generation of pH gradients in microfluidic devices for biofabrication of freestanding, semi-permeable chitosan membranes. The pH-stimuli-responsive polysaccharide chitosan was enlisted to form a freestanding hydrophilic membrane structure in microfluidic networks where pH gradients are generated at the converging interface between a slightly acidic chitosan solution and a ...
