Recent years have seen tremendous advances in the field of hydrogel-based biomaterials.
One of the most prominent revolutions in this field has been the integration of elements or …

In the body, cells inhabit within a complex three-dimensional (3D) extracellular matrix that
provides physical and chemical signals to regulate the cell fate. Cultured cells in Petri dishes …

Drug discovery is an expensive and lengthy process. Among the different phases, drug
discovery and preclinical trials play an important role as only 5–10 of all drugs that begin …

Cell-based therapies have generated great interest in the scientific and medical
communities, and stem cells in particular are very appealing for regenerative medicine, drug …

The development of cell printing is vital for establishing biofabrication approaches as
clinically relevant tools. Achieving this requires bio-inks which must not only be easily …

We describe a one-step method for creating thousands of isolated pico-to microliter-sized
droplets with defined geometry and volume. Arrays of droplets are instantly formed as liquid …

A strategy to modulate the behavior of stem cells in culture is to mimic structural aspects of
the native cell/extracellular matrix interaction. We applied femtosecond laser two-photon …

Use of stem cells, whether adult or embryonic for clinical applications to treat diseases such
as Parkinson's, macular degeneration or Type I diabetes will require a homogenous …
