New paper: Photopatterned 3D cultures in a chip

We are delighted that Jennifer Ortiz-Cardenas’s thesis work is now published in Organs-on-a-chip! Jenn established a method to micropattern cell-laden 3D cultures on a microfluidic chip, with resolution as good as 100-micron. She established everything from how to design and fabricate the PDMS chamber to avoid catching bubbles or patterning microcracks in the gel, to choosing what light source would provide the required wavelength, intensity, and columnation, to rigorously comparing the properties of two types of biomaterials in terms of patterning, and carefully establishing the capabilities and limitations of biocompatibility of this system with primary lymphocytes.
