Formation of embryoid bodies using dielectrophoresis.
Embryoid body (EB) formation forms an important step in embryonic stem cell differentiation invivo. In murine embryonic stem cell (mESC) cultures EB formation is inhibited by the inclusion of leukaemic inhibitory factor (LIF) in the medium. Assembly of mESCs into aggregates by positive dielectrophoresis (DEP) in high field regions between interdigitated oppositely castellated electrodes was fou...
متن کاملIsolated node engineering of neuronal systems using laser direct write.
Current limitations to the engineering of ex vivo and in vitro neural environments are hampering the ability to understand underlying neurophysiology. High levels of spatial specificity, reproducibility and viability have been previously reported using laser direct write (LDW) to print cells. However, despite the significant need no one has yet reported laser assisted printing of primary mammal...
متن کاملDirect-Write Planar Microultracapacitors by Laser Engineering
We have successfully employed laser direct write and micromachining to fabricate high capacity hydrous ruthenium oxide (RuOxHy or RuO2 • xH2O) microultracapacitors. A laser direct-write process is used to deposit uniform pads of RuO2 • 0.5H2O in sulfuric acid under ambient temperature and atmospheric conditions. Ultraviolet laser micromachining is used to tailor the shape and size of the deposi...
متن کاملControlling size, shape and homogeneity of embryoid bodies using poly(ethylene glycol) microwells.
Directed differentiation of embryonic stem (ES) cells is useful for creating models of human disease and could potentially generate a wide array of functional cell types for therapeutic applications. Methods to differentiate ES cells often involve the formation of cell aggregates called embryoid bodies (EBs), which recapitulate early stages of embryonic development. EBs are typically made from ...
متن کاملControlled-size embryoid body formation in concave microwell arrays.
Embryonic stem (ES) cells hold great potential as a renewable cell source for regenerative medicine and cell-based therapy. Despite the potential of ES cells, conventional stem cell culture methods do not enable the control of the microenvironment. A number of microscale engineering approaches have been recently developed to control the extracellular microenvironment and to direct embryonic ste...
