报告摘要:
With the advent of the technology, various bio-fabrication methods have been developed to fabricate engineered tissue constructs with resolutions ranging from nano to macro scale by utilizing materials such as biodegradable materials, bioactive molecules, components of extracellular matrices, and/or living cells. Among them, methods like laser direct writing, extrusion-based cell deposition and inkjet-based cell printing are capable of manipulating living cells and creating 3D tissue constructs with complex hierarchical structures that mimic the host tissue It is known that cells are sensitive to environmental changes. During the fabrication processes, cells are often involuntarily manipulated and/or exposed to disturbances that may not be present in the normal physiological environment, and these disturbances may affect cell viability as well as cell functionality. Hence, it is important to quantify the local environment that cells experience and establish linkage between the local environment and cell damage. This presentation will provide a brief introduction to our recent work in this area.
