Existing methods for constructing tension tissues often encounter limitations in flexibility, scalability, or cost-effectiveness. This study introduces a novel approach to fabricate soft microstring chips using a sacrificial template method, which is easy to operate, offers controlled preparation, and is cost-effective. Through experimental testing and finite element simulations, we validated and characterized the relationship between microstring deformation, tissue width, and the reaction force exerted by the microstrings, enabling precise measurement of tissue contraction force. We successfully constructed microstring-engineered tension tissues (METTs) and demonstrated that they exhibit a significant mechanical response to profibrotic factors. Additionally, we conceptually demonstrated the application of microstring chips in constructing METTs with asymmetric, biomimetic constraints. The results indicate effective construction and regulation of METTs, providing a robust platform for mechanobiology and biomedical research.","PeriodicalId":85,"journal":{"name":"Lab on a Chip","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.1,"publicationDate":"2024-11-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142588791","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A 3D printer is more convenient and may achieve high resolutions comparable to conventional photolithography, but only with select materials. Alternatively, 5-axis computer numerical control (CNC) micro-milling machines can efficiently prototype structures with high resolutions, high aspect ratios, and non-planar geometries from a variety of materials. These machines, however, have not been catered for laboratory-based, small-batch microfluidics development and are largely inaccessible to researchers. In this paper, we present a new 5-axis CNC micro-milling machine specifically designed for prototyping 3D microfluidic channels, made affordable for research and laboratories. The machine is assembled from commercially available products and custom-build parts, occupying 0.72 cubic meters, and operating entirely from computer aided design (CAD) and manufacturing (CAM) software. The 5-axis CNC micro-milling machine achieves sub-µm bidirectional repeatability (≤0.23 µm), machinable features &lt;20 µm, and a work volume of 50 x 50 x 68 mm. The tool compatibility and milling parameters were designed to enable fabrication of virtually any mill-able material including metals like aluminum, brass, stainless steel, and titanium alloys. To demonstrate milling high resolution and high aspect ratios, we milled a thin wall from 360 brass with a width of 18.1 µm and an aspect ratio of ~50:1. We also demonstrated fabricating molds from 360 brass with non-planar geometries to create polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) microfluidic channels. These included a channel on a 90° edge and a channel on a rounded edge with a 250-µm radius of curvature. Our 5-axis CNC micro-milling machine offers the most versatility in prototyping microfluidics by enabling high resolutions, geometric complexity, a large work volume, and broad material compatibility, all within a user-friendly benchtop system.","PeriodicalId":85,"journal":{"name":"Lab on a Chip","volume":"214 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.1,"publicationDate":"2024-11-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142574375","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By leveraging the short diffusional distances in miniature devices, processes like nanomaterial synthesis can be precisely tailored for high-throughput production. In this context, the manipulation of flow regimes—from laminar to vortex formation, as well as the generation of turbulent and turbulent jet flows—plays a significant role in optimizing these processes. Therefore, a detailed understanding of fluid interactions within microchannels is crucial. Imaging with tracer particles is a commonly used approach to study fluid behavior. Alternatively, label-free imaging methodologies are rarely employed for studying fluid dynamics. In this pursuit, we present a new imaging-based scheme to explore fluid interactions in various co-flow regimes through optical flow analysis, specifically using Gaussian window mean squared error (MSE). By examining fluid flow characteristics such as flow intensities (caused by fluctuations) and the projected movement of fluid spots, we characterize slow vortexing and chaotic flow behaviors in co-flow regimes. Consequently, we use imaging data to illustrate the influence of co-flow regimes on particle synthesis.

Microfluidics-based acoustic mixers are capable of achieving rapid nucleation and ultrafast growth kinetics. Nevertheless, conventional acoustic mixers rely on the response of microstructures to the acoustic field for mixing fluids, the majority of these disturbances occur in the central region of the channel, with minimal impact on the fluid within the side walls. This paper proposes a novel acoustic mixer that combines the effects of sharp corners and bubbles in response to the acoustic field, thereby producing effective disturbance of the fluid throughout the channel. The combined effect enables the micromixer to achieve complete mixing at different inlet flow ratios with mixing times as low as 5 ms. The superiority of acoustic mixers in controlling the nanocrystal formation stage was further validated through the synthesis of chalcogenide nanocrystals using the LARP method. The millisecond mixing time facilitated the rapid formation of nanocrystals and their subsequent rapid growth. The results demonstrate that the green luminescence intensity at 520 nm of the samples synthesized using the acoustic micromixer is 118% higher than that of the samples synthesized using an intermittent reactor. The novel micromixer broadens the range of applications and offers a promising avenue for the large-scale continuous synthesis of high-quality lead-halide perovskite nanocrystals (NCs).</p>","PeriodicalId":85,"journal":{"name":"Lab on a Chip","volume":" 1","pages":" 7-15"},"PeriodicalIF":6.1,"publicationDate":"2024-10-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142556239","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A better understanding of the mechanisms of the disease, especially at early stages, could elucidate new treatment targets. One characteristic of AMD is strain on the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE), a crucial layer of the retina. This strain can be caused by physical phenomena like waste aggregation underneath the RPE, drusen formation, or leaky blood vessels that infiltrate the retina during choroidal neovascularization (CNV). It is not well understood how strain affects RPE cell function. Most models generate equibiaxial strain or higher levels of strain that are not representative of early stages of AMD. To overcome these issues, we engineered a device to cause controlled, low amounts of localized, radial strain (maximum ∼1.4%). This strain level is more mimetic to what occurs during aging or at the beginning of physical disruptions experienced during AMD. To evaluate how RPE cells respond to this physical stimulus, primary porcine RPE cells were exposed to low levels of strain applied by our custom-made device. Cell secretions and genetic expression were analyzed to determine how proteins linked to drusen and CNV are affected. The results indicate that this low amount of strain does not immediately initiate angiogenesis but causes changes in mRNA expression of amyloid precursor protein (APP), which plays a role in retinal health and drusen accumulation.

To tackle these issues, we designed a novel 32-unit tissue chip in the format of standard 96-well plates to streamline automation, fabricated it using 3D printing, and leveraged gravity-driven flow to bypass the need for external flow devices.

We analyzed flow patterns, mixing, and oxygen transport among and within the compartments through finite element simulations and demonstrated the utility of the tissue chip to study the efficacy of commonly-used cytotoxic cancer drugs against tumor cells and their toxicity toward liver and bone marrow cells.
