Abstract

In this paper, we introduce a method based on microparticle self-assembly for cell dynamic patterning. UV induced Norland Optical Adhesive (NOA) was used for the fabrication of microparticles with various shapes and sizes. The mi-croparticles then were fixed in alginate with one surface exposed to the external free solution. After the cells attached to the exposed surfaces, the microparticles were released and finally assembled manually or automatically. This method could be used as a good platform for dynamic cell patterning. Also, it showed promising potential in large-scale co-patterning of multi types of cells at the same time.
