Fabrication and Self-assembly of Movable Microstructures Embedding Cells inside Microfluidic Devices

چکیده
Currently the research about large quantities cells assembly is seriously regarded, since it can provide high efficiency methods for artificial tissue engineering. In this paper, we report a cell assembly method based on cell immobilization by photo-crosslinkable resin and microfluidic self-assembly inside microfluidic devices. The on-chip fabrication of movable microstructures embedding yeast cells (W303) based on Poly (ethylene glycol) Diacrylate (PEGDA) was reported. A 2-layer microfluidic device was fabricated by Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) and self-assembly method of the fabricated movable microstructures via this device was preliminarily demonstrated.

متن کاملGuided and fluidic self-assembly of microstructures using railed microfluidic channels.
Fluidic self-assembly is a promising pathway for parallel fabrication of devices made up of many small components. Here, we introduce 'railed microfluidics' as an agile method to guide and assemble microstructures inside fluidic channels. The guided movement of microstructures in microfluidic channels was achieved by fabricating grooves ('rails') on the top surface of the channels and also crea...
