Photodegradable hydrogels for external manipulation of cellular microenvironments with real-time monitoring
With the rapid progress of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine, the cell-friendly construction of a 3D extracellular matrix in a precisely controlled manner is needed. This biomimicry of the native extracellular matrix replicates major aspects of the native cellular microenvironment. Herein, we design a polyethylene glycol (PEG) based hydrogel combined with caging chemistry, which coul...
متن کاملClick-crosslinkable and photodegradable gelatin hydrogels for cytocompatible optical cell manipulation in natural environment
This paper describes the generation of "click-crosslinkable" and "photodegaradable" gelatin hydrogels from the reaction between dibenzocycloctyl-terminated photoclevable tetra-arm polyethylene glycol and azide-modified gelatin. The hydrogels were formed in 30 min through the click-crosslinking reaction. The micropatterned features in the hydrogels were created by micropatterned light irradiatio...
متن کاملMicropatterned photodegradable hydrogels for the sorting of microbeads and cells.
Microarrays of biomolecules and cells have played important roles in genomics, diagnostics, and drug screening. Live-cell capture on micropatterned surfaces is particularly valuable for diagnostic or biosensing applications, as cell arrays are amenable to rapid characterization and sorting. For example, antibody-coated micropost arrays have been used to detect and isolate rare circulating tumor...
متن کاملPhotodegradable hydrogels for capture, detection, and release of live cells.
Cells may be captured and released using a photodegradable hydrogel (photogel) functionalized with antibodies. Photogel substrates were used to first isolate human CD4 or CD8 T-cells from a heterogeneous cell suspension and then to release desired cells or groups of cells by UV-induced photodegradation. Flow cytometry analysis of the retrieved cells revealed approximately 95% purity of CD4 and ...
متن کاملPhotodegradable hydrogels for dynamic tuning of physical and chemical properties.
We report a strategy to create photodegradable poly(ethylene glycol)-based hydrogels through rapid polymerization of cytocompatible macromers for remote manipulation of gel properties in situ. Postgelation control of the gel properties was demonstrated to introduce temporal changes, creation of arbitrarily shaped features, and on-demand pendant functionality release. Channels photodegraded with...
