Electrodeposited Alginate Hydrogels for Fabrication of Cell Sheets
نویسندگان
چکیده
In the present study, we present a method of eletrodeposittion of hydrogels to fabricate cell sheets. In the method, calcium-alginate hydrogels are electrodeposited by water electrolysis. 3T3 cells were cultured on the hydrogels to form cell sheets, and the cell sheets were collected by dissolving the hydrogels. Intact cell sheets can be collected, indicating that the method is useful to create cell sheets.

Construction of Modular Hydrogel Sheets for Micropatterned Macro-scaled 3D Cellular Architecture.
Hydrogels can be patterned at the micro-scale using microfluidic or micropatterning technologies to provide an in vivo-like three-dimensional (3D) tissue geometry. The resulting 3D hydrogel-based cellular constructs have been introduced as an alternative to animal experiments for advanced biological studies, pharmacological assays and organ transplant applications. Although hydrogel-based parti...
متن کاملPatterned paper as a template for the delivery of reactants in the fabrication of planar materials.
This account reviews the use of templates, fabricated by patterning paper, for the delivery of aqueous solutions of reactants (predominantly, ions) in the preparation of structured, thin materials (e.g., films of ionotropic hydrogels). In these methods, a patterned sheet of paper transfers an aqueous solution of reagent to a second phase-either solid or liquid-brought into contact with the temp...
متن کاملFabrication of three-dimensional porous cell-laden hydrogel for tissue engineering.
For tissue engineering applications, scaffolds should be porous to enable rapid nutrient and oxygen transfer while providing a three-dimensional (3D) microenvironment for the encapsulated cells. This dual characteristic can be achieved by fabrication of porous hydrogels that contain encapsulated cells. In this work, we developed a simple method that allows cell encapsulation and pore generation...
