Miniaturisation for chemistry, physics, biology and bioengineering
An Issue for Tissue
05 June 2007
Lab on a Chip commissioned Editorial Board member Sangeeta Bhatia (MIT) and Christopher Chen (University of Pennsylvania) to assemble a special issue dedicated to novel, state-of-the-art research on 'Cell and Tissue Engineering in Microsystems' to better understand tissue engineering principles.
- Andreas Manz, ISAS, Dortmund
The results can be seen below, the issue includes a critical review of cell micropatterning techniques; a tutorial review of perfusion culture of mammalian cells; and several high quality full papers on topics covering cell culture, patterning of biomaterials, stem cell differentiation, biocompatible implants, 3D tissue culture, embryoid bodies, cell cytotoxicity analysis and cell-cell communication.
