Microfluidic Environments and Cell Behavior
The use of microfluidics for the study of basic biology is still
in its infancy with the focus to date on the use of microfluidics for acute
analysis. Another possible use of microfluidics and more broadly micro systems,
is for the longer term growth, study and even production of living systems.
In this presentation, I will describe work towards this end involving the
development of a fabrication platform that makes possible integrated organic
and biomimetic microsystems. Further, preliminary evidence suggesting that
these systems can, in some cases, provide a more nature (or in vivo-like)
micro environment for living systems will be described. The effect of microenvironments
on the behavior of a variety of living systems (insect cells, yeast, mammalian
embryos, human embryonic stem cells and mammary epithelial cells) will be
summarized.
