Microfluidics-Assisted Fabrication of Gelatin-Silica Core–Shell Microgels for Injectable Tissue Constructs
Microfabrication technology provides a highly versatile platform for engineering hydrogels used in biomedical applications with high-resolution control and injectability. Herein, we present a strategy of microfluidics-assisted fabrication photo-cross-linkable gelatin microgels, coupled with providing protective silica hydrogel layer on the microgel surface to ultimately generate gelatin-silica ...
متن کاملDirected assembly of cell-laden microgels for fabrication of 3D tissue constructs.
We present a bottom-up approach to direct the assembly of cell-laden microgels to generate tissue constructs with tunable microarchitecture and complexity. This assembly process is driven by the tendency of multiphase liquid-liquid systems to minimize the surface area and the resulting surface free energy between the phases. We demonstrate that shape-controlled microgels spontaneously assemble ...
متن کاملDirected assembly of cell-laden microgels for building porous three-dimensional tissue constructs.
The organization of cells within a well-defined microenvironment is important in generating the resulting tissue function. However, the cellular organization within biodegradable scaffolds often does not resemble those of native tissues. In this study, we present directed assembly of microgels to organize cells for building porous 3D tissue constructs. Cell-laden microgels were generated by mol...
متن کاملLanguage Constructs for Modular Parallel
We describe programming language constructs that facilitate the application of modular design techniques in parallel programming. These constructs allow us to isolate resource management and processor scheduling decisions from the speciication of individual modules, which can themselves encapsulate design decisions concerned with concurrency, communication, process mapping, and data distributio...
متن کاملHybrid Microgels with Thermo-Tunable Elasticity for Controllable Cell Confinement.
Stimuli-responsive hydrogels are able to change their physical properties such as their elastic moduli in response to changes in their environment. If biocompatible polymers are used to prepare such materials and if living cells are encapsulated within these networks, their switchability allows the cell-matrix interactions to be investigated with unprecedented consistency. In this paper, thermo...
