Droplet-based microfluidic systems generate, manipulate and control sub-microlitre droplets
enclosed within an immiscible carrier fluid. Owing to a number of remarkable features, such …

Microfluidics has recently emerged as a powerful tool in generation of submillimeter-sized
cell aggregates capable of performing tissue-specific functions, so-called microtissues, for …

Multicellular spheroids and organoids are promising in vitro 3D models in personalized
medicine and drug screening. They replicate the structural and functional characteristics of …

Alginates are a broad family of linear (unbranched) polysaccharides derived from brown
seaweeds and some bacteria. Despite having only two monomers, ie β-d-mannuronate (M) …

This protocol describes the design of capillary microfluidics for spinning bioactive (cell-
laden) microfibers for three-dimensional (3D) cell culture and tissue-engineering …

Biopolymer microgels have considerable potential for their ability to encapsulate, protect,
and release bioactive components. Biopolymer microgels are small particles (typically 100 …

Artificial cells are biomimetic structures formed from molecular building blocks that replicate
biological processes, behaviors, and architectures. Of these building blocks, hydrogels have …

Hydrogels are effective platforms for use as artificial extracellular matrices, cell carriers, and
to present bioactive cues. Two common natural polymers, fibrin and alginate, are broadly …

Cell-hydrogel based therapies offer great promise for wound healing. The specific aim of this
study was to assess the viability of human hepatocellular carcinoma (HepG2) cells …

Susceptibility of mammalian cells against harsh processing conditions limit their use in cell
transplantation and tissue engineering applications. Besides modulation of the cell …
