| Research Abstract |
This study demonstrated that cells were detached within 5 min via electrical desorption of alkane thiol self-assembled monolayers. This is the most rapid cell detachment approach compared to other previous approaches. This electrical approach could also be used to harvest cell sheets of cardiomyocytes and fibroblasts, and hepatocyte spheroids. Furthermore, this was applicable to fabricate vascular-like structures, by transferring cells to the internal surface of microchannels in hydrogel. This approach can be a fundamental tool for engineering tissues with vascular networks.
