title = "Fabrication and self-assembly of movable microstructures embedding cells inside microfluidic devices",
abstract = "Currently the research about large quantities cells assembly is seriously regarded, since it can provide high efficiency methods for artificial tissue engineering. In this paper, we report a cell assembly method based on cell immobilization by photo-crosslinkable resin and microfluidic self-assembly inside microfluidic devices. The on-chip fabrication of movable microstructures embedding yeast cells (W303) based on Poly (ethylene glycol) Diacrylate (PEGDA) was reported. A 2-layer microfluidic device was fabricated by Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) and self-assembly method of the fabricated movable microstructures via this device was preliminarily demonstrated.",
