Microfluidic Perfusion Cultivation System for a Multilayer Structured Tubular Tissues
نویسندگان
چکیده
We proposed a 3D assembly technique and a perfusion cultivation system. The technique uses water transfer printing to fabricate a multilayer structured tubular tissue. By the perfusion cultivation system, this study was aimed to determine whether the tissue-engineered structure maintains the normally mechanical property as the development and function. In this work, we demonstrated that fabricated tissues could rapidly assemble into aligned tubular tissue in the appropriate conditions and circularly cultured the multilayer structured tubular tissue.

Systematic screening of algal cells is getting huge interest due to their capability of producing lipid-based biodiesel. Here, we introduce a new microfluidic platform composed of an array of perfusion chambers designed for long-term cultivation and preliminary screening of motile microalgal cells through loading and releasing of cells to and from the chambers. The chemical environment in each ...
متن کاملOsteogenic Differentiation and Mineralization on Compact Multilayer nHA-PCL Electrospun Scaffolds in a Perfusion Bioreactor
Background: Monolayer electrospun scaffolds have already been used in bone tissue engineering due to their high surface-to-volume ratio, interconnectivity, similarity to natural bone extracellular matrix (ECM), and simple production. Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the dynamic culture effect on osteogenic differentiation and mineralizationi into a compact cellular multilayer ...
متن کامل3D Cultivation Techniques for Primary Human Hepatocytes
One of the main challenges in drug development is the prediction of in vivo toxicity based on in vitro data. The standard cultivation system for primary human hepatocytes is based on monolayer cultures, even if it is known that these conditions result in a loss of hepatocyte morphology and of liver-specific functions, such as drug-metabolizing enzymes and transporters. As it has been demonstrat...
متن کاملVascularization of Microfluidic Hydrogels
Current methods for engineering vascularized tissues rely primarily on the self-organization of vascular cells (endothelial cells, pericytes, and smooth muscle cells) or their progenitors in a scaffold and/or on the recruitment of new vessels via release of angiogenic factors [1,2]. While these approaches certainly accelerate the process of graft vascularization, they still require several days...
