Computational and experimental studies of a cell-imprinted-based integrated microfluidic device for biomedical applications

Abstract It has been proved that cell-imprinted substrates molded from template cells can be used for the re-culture of that cell while preserving its normal behavior or to differentiate the cultured stem cells into the template cell. In this study, a microfluidic device was presented to modify the...
