INTRODUCTION trying to control the environment experienced by individual Control of the cellular environment is crucial for undercells lie in the relevant scales of size as well as the character ding the behavior of cells and for engineering cellular of the stimuli. These scales of size range from angstroms (for ction (Jiang and Whitesides, 2003; Whitesides etal., 2001; molecular detail), through micrometers (for an individual and Whitesides, 1998). This chapter describes the use of cell), to millimeters and centimeters (for groups of cells); the

Nanometer-Scale Patterning on PMMA Resist by Force Microscopy Lithography
Nanoscale science and technology has today mainly focused on the fabrication of nano devices. In this paper, we study the use of lithography process to build the desired nanostructures directly. Nanolithography on polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) surface is carried out by using Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) equipped with silicon tip, in contact mode. The analysis of the results shows that the ...
متن کاملEnvironmental micro-patterning for the study of spiral ganglion neurite guidance.
The projection of neuronal processes is guided by a variety of soluble and insoluble factors, which are sensed by a fiber's growth cone. It is the differential distribution of such guidance cues that determine the direction in which neurites grow. The growth cone senses these cues on a fine scale, using extensible filopodia that range from a few to tens of mum in length. In order to study the e...
متن کاملAccurate and Effective Live Bacteria Microarray Patterning on Thick Polycationic Polymer Layer Co-Patterned with HMDS.
A new bacteria microarray patterning technique is developed by patterning thick polycationic polymers on glass surface, which generates high-coverage and high-precision E. coli cell patterns. Cell immobilization efficiency is greatly improved, compared to conventional monolayer surface patterning approach. Cell viability tests show very low cytotoxicity of polyethyleneimine (PEI). This advancem...
متن کاملDirect rapid prototyping of PDMS from a photomask film for micropatterning of biomolecules and cells.
The soft lithographic technique is a collection of simple and cost-effective patterning techniques which applies an elastomeric stamp to transfer a nano/micro-scale pattern. Patterning biological materials using soft lithography provides procedurally simple control of the surface chemistry and the cell environments. However, conventional methods for generating microstructures on a substrate req...
متن کاملContinuous transfer of liquid metal droplets across a fluid-fluid interface within an integrated microfluidic chip.
Micro scale liquid metal droplets have been hailed as the potential key building blocks of future micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS). However, most of the current liquid metal enabled systems involve millimeter scale droplets, which are manually injected onto the desired locations of the microchip. Despite its simplicity, this method is impractical for patterning large arrays or complex sy...
