Mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) are a population of multipotent cells that can differentiate into various lineages such as fibroblast, osteoblast, chondrocyte and adipocyte and can be maintained over extended periods in vitro. They are also known to have a su ...
Most tissue engineering approaches include the delivery of reparative cells to a damaged host tissue. Generally these cells are sought to be of a stem cell character since they retain a high potential for proliferation and differentiation into diverse phen ...
The process comprises the step of deposition of a sensor and of a part or of the entirety of a treatment unit on a not necessarily planar conductive surface by a soft lithography technique. ...
The epidermis and its appendages protect our body from environmental hazards. Cells generated in the basal layer continuously replace the terminally differentiated keratinocytes that are shed off the epidermal surface. Long-term renewal depends on specific ...
"Optofluidics" is the marriage of optics, optoelectronics and nanophotonics with fluidics. Such integration represents a new approach for dynamic manipulation of optical properties at length scales both greater than and smaller than the wavelength of light ...
UV-imprint lithography has attracted attentions since its invention in 1996 together with thermal imprint lithography, which are so-called nanoimprint lithography (NIL). One of the characteristics of UV-imprint lithography is that a polymer layer to be str ...
New cell-imprint surface modification techni- ques 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 ...
We compare three different approaches to high-resolution contact lithography with special emphasis on contrast mechanisms for subwavelength structures. Masks with protruding metal absorbers, masks with absorbers embedded in the transparent background, and ...
A multiple-angle liquid crystal blazed grating beam deflector has been developed. It consists of a stack of liquid crystal blazed gratings where each layer can deflect incident light with very high efficiency into one of two different directions depending ...

The extracellular matrix (ECM) exerts powerful control over many cellular phenomena, including stem cell differentiation. As such, design and modulation of ECM analogs to ligate specific integrin is a promising approach to control cellular processes in vit ...
