Microengineered responsive platforms for spatial and geometrical control of multicellular organizations
… retrieval. These microtissues were scaffold-free and can potentially produce homotypic cell-cell interactions. Microwells fabricated from poly(Nisopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAAm) responded to temperature by changing their shapes. Spherical microtissues of a single cell type were formed …

From developmental biology to tissue-engineering: printing blood vessels
… However, the use of synthetic materials and scaffold-based approaches has shown several limitations for small-diameter blood vessel tissue-engineering, evidenced by the fact that they can elicit adverse host responses and interfere with, rather than guide, direct cellcell interaction as well …

Microscale Tissue Engineering and Contributors of the Cellular Niche
… systems. One project showcases a novel scaffold-free, scalable and injectable retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) microtissue for minimally-invasive transplantation. While RPE transplantation holds great potential to cure various retinal degenerative diseases, cells transplanted as cellular …

STUDIES OF CELL MOTILITY AND DIFFERENTIATION IN COMPLEX 3D IN VITRO MICROENVIRONMENT
… </p> <p>In this work, 3D dynamic shape memory scaffolds were developed and employed to investigate cell motility and differentiation behaviors when the cellular microenvironment dynamically changes in vitro. The scaffolds have fibrous structure, which can potentially mimic the collagen matrix …
