Three-dimensional microwell arrays for cell culture.
We propose the concept of three-dimensional (3D) microwell arrays for cell culture applications and highlight the importance of oxygen diffusion through pores in all three dimensions to enhance cell viability.
متن کاملthree-dimensional (3d) cell culture conditions, present and future improvements
conclusions our underlying hypothesis is that recapitulating the three-dimensional early embryonic structure, in order to reproduce better in vitro the three-dimensional morphogenetic-like re-arrangements, would improve cells differentiation, when in vivo transplanted; moreover, it could be used as a simplified cancer disease model and reliable drug evaluation method as well. results the proces...
متن کاملThree-dimensional jamming and flows of soft glassy materials.
Various disordered dense systems, such as foams, gels, emulsions and colloidal suspensions, undergo a jamming transition from a liquid state (they flow) to a solid state below a yield stress. Their structure, which has been thoroughly studied with powerful means of three-dimensional characterization, shows some analogy with that of glasses, which led to them being named soft glassy materials. H...
متن کاملThermosensitive polymeric matrices for three-dimensional cell culture strategies.
A completely new strategy for cell culture focusing on the design of three-dimensional (3D) smart surfaces by supercritical fluid technology has been developed. This approach might overcome the limitations on cell expansion and proliferation of currently existing techniques. An alternative technology, based on supercritical carbon dioxide, was used to polymerize poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNI...
متن کاملA thixotropic nanocomposite gel for three-dimensional cell culture.
Thixotropic materials, which become less viscous under stress and return to their original state when stress is removed, have been used to deliver gel-cell constructs and therapeutic agents. Here we show that a polymer-silica nanocomposite thixotropic gel can be used as a three-dimensional cell culture material. The gel liquefies when vortexed--allowing cells and biological components to be add...
