Our work detailing the novel immersed microfluidic spinning technology toward the production of vascularized tissue implants and organoids was published in the ASME’s “Journal of Micro and Nano Manufacturing”.
The technology is involved in the production of coiled alginate fiber that is placed in the matrix of cell-laden gel. Subsequently, the calcium alginate fiber is dissolved, leaving behind the hollow channel network that serves as temporary microfluidic passageways for keeping the cells viable.
Congratulations to Zarya and Joseph for advancing this technology and kudos to Nishali and Addison for their assistance in the optimization of some processing steps and data collection!
