摘要
We are developing microfluidic systems with 3D-microstructures and integrated electrodes to assemble cells in an organ-like 3D-structure by means of dielectrophoretic and hydrodynamic forces. To further mimic the in vivo situation cells are allowed to adhere on liver specific extra cellular matrix proteins. Results showing co-assembly of liver cells in a sinusoid like structure will be presented.
