Paramagnetic levitational assembly of hydrogels.
Figure 1 . (A) Schematic of hydrogel fabrication process. Hydrogel units were fabricated by photolithography. 20 μ L of gel precursor solution was Tissues and organs are composed of repeating functional units. [ 1–3,48 ] Among these repeating basic cellular structures are the hexagonal lobule in liver, the nephron in kidney, and the islets in pankreas. [ 4–6 ] Tissue engineering aims to mimic t...
متن کاملMagnetic Levitational Assembly for Living Material Fabrication.
Functional living materials with microscale compositional topographies are prevalent in nature. However, the creation of biomaterials composed of living micro building blocks, each programmed by composition, functionality, and shape, is still a challenge. A powerful yet simple approach to create living materials using a levitation-based magnetic method is presented.
متن کاملFabrication and Manipulation of Ionotropic Hydrogels Crosslinked by Paramagnetic Ions.
This manuscript describes the fabrication and manipulation of millimeter-scale spheres fabricated from ionotropic hydrogels that are crosslinked with paramagnetic metal ions (e.g., Ho(3+)). These ionotropic hydrogels experience a force in a magnetic field gradient that correlates with the concentration of the paramagnetic cations crosslinking the polymer. In an externally applied magnetic field...
متن کاملEmerging technologies for assembly of microscale hydrogels.
Assembly of cell encapsulating building blocks (i.e., microscale hydrogels) has significant applications in areas including regenerative medicine, tissue engineering, and cell-based in vitro assays for pharmaceutical research and drug discovery. Inspired by the repeating functional units observed in native tissues and biological systems (e.g., the lobule in liver, the nephron in kidney), assemb...
متن کاملLevitational Image Cytometry with Temporal Resolution.
A simple, yet powerful magnetic-levitation-based device is reported for real-time, label-free separation, as well as high-resolution monitoring of cell populations based on their unique magnetic and density signatures. This method allows a wide variety of cellular processes to be studied, accompanied by transient or permanent changes in cells' fundamental characteristics as a biological material.
