细胞图像化对组织工程和药物发现等多种生物学应用非常有用。特别是,在不同流体中定位细胞的能力有利于从微胶囊化到高通量分析的各种应用。然而,尽管取得了很大的进展,细胞固定和维持在图案微液滴仍然是一个挑战。特别是,目前还没有一种方法能够以可控和可靠的方式将细胞快速植入微孔阵列。在这项研究中,我们提出了一种简单的擦拭技术来定位聚合物微孔阵列中的细胞。这种强大的方法产生的细胞播种密度随微孔几何形状和细胞浓度的变化而变化。此外,我们建立了一个简单的理论模型,可以根据微孔阵列的设计参数和细胞密度准确预测细胞播种密度和播种效率。这种短期细胞图谱方法是开发新的高通量筛选技术的有利工具,该技术利用含有细胞的微孔阵列进行筛选应用。
Cell patterning is useful for a variety of biological applications such as tissue engineering and drug discovery. In particular, the ability to localize cells within distinct fluids is beneficial for a variety of applications ranging from microencapsulation to high-throughput analysis. However, despite much progress, cell immobilization and maintenance within patterned microscale droplets remains a challenge. In particular, no method currently exists to rapidly seed cells into microwell arrays in a controllable and reliable manner. In this study, we present simple wiping technique to localize cells within arrays of polymeric microwells. This robust method produces cell seeding densities that vary consistently with microwell geometry and cell concentration. Moreover, we develop a simple theoretical model to accurately predict cell seeding density and seeding efficiency in terms of the design parameters of the microwell array and the cell density. This short-term cell patterning approach is an enabling tool to develop new high-throughput screening technologies that utilize microwell arrays containing cells for screening applications.
