Engineered substrates incapable of induction of chondrogenic differentiation compared to the chondrocyte imprinted substrates

Philippe Renaud, Shahin Bonakdar, Leila Montazeri, Zahrasadat Ghazali

It is well established that surface topography can affect cell functions. However, finding a reproducible and reliable method for regulating stem cell behavior is still under investigation. It has been shown that cell imprinted substrates contain micro- an ...

Cell-Imprint Surface Modification by Contact Photolithography-Based Approaches: Direct-Cell Photolithography and Optical Soft Lithography Using PDMS Cell Imprints

Philippe Renaud, Harald Van Lintel, Shahin Bonakdar, Hanie Kavand

New cell-imprint surface modification techniques based on direct-cell photolithography and optical soft lithography using poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) cell imprints are presented for enhanced cell-based studies. The core concept of engineering materials f ...

Cell-Imprinted Substrates Modulate Differentiation, Redifferentiation, and Transdifferentiation

Philippe Renaud, Arnaud Bertsch, Mojtaba Taghipoor, Omid Mashinchian, Leila Montazeri, Morteza Mahmoudi, Shahin Bonakdar

Differentiation of stem cells into mature cells through the use of physical approaches is of great interest. Here, we prepared smart nanoenvironments by cell-imprinted substrates based on chondrocytes, tenocytes, and semifibroblasts as templates and demons ...

Modification of PDMS to fabricate PLGA microparticles by a double emulsion method in a single microfluidic device

Philippe Renaud, Shahin Bonakdar, Leila Montazeri

We present an easy, durable method to generate a partially hydrophilic/hydrophobic poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) microfluidic device. The functionality of this device was assessed in a double flow focusing design to fabricate core–shell structured poly(lac ...

On-Chip Fabrication of Paclitaxel-Loaded Chitosan Nanoparticles for Cancer Therapeutics

Philippe Renaud, Arnaud Bertsch, Mohammad Mahdi Hasani-Sadrabadi, Jules John Vandersarl, Shahin Bonakdar, Fatemeh Sadat Majedi

The use of solvent-free microfluidics to fine-tune the physical and chemical properties of chitosan nanoparticles for drug delivery is demonstrated. Nanoparticle self-assembly is driven by pH changes in a water environment, which increases biocompatibility ...
