title = "An active microscaffold for applications in tissue engineering",
abstract = "Assembling engineered tissues at the mesoscale into an engineered organ has specially attracted our attention since engineered organ usually has a very complex structure and cannot be fabricated simply by using a fixed scaffold. The fabrication of these composite tissues is, however, difficult since many different scaffolds are required. The flexible microsaffold, called 'changeable cell culture (C3) mold', is therefore proposed to simplify this task. C3 mold consists of 5×5 PDMS microactuator array with a diameter of 700 μm and spacing of 800 μm. The fabrication of cutout-shaped gel sheet is successfully carried out where mineral oil is used as the working fluid. This experiment indeed demonstrates the possibility of using C 3 mold in future tissue fabrication.",
