Rapid fabrication of hydrogel micropatterns by projection stereolithography for studying self-organized developmental patterning.

Self-organized patterning of mammalian embryonic stem cells on micropatterned surfaces has previously been established as an in vitro platform for early mammalian developmental studies, complimentary to in vivo studies. Traditional micropatterning methods, such as micro-contact printing (μCP), invol...
