| Research Abstract |
Electrostatic micro drop-injection method has good merits those are high resolution to print and ability to eject highly viscous liquid. We demonstrated that living cells and highly viscous scaffolds can be print utilizing electrostatic micro drop-injection method. When syringe that is filled with liquid that contains living cells and syringe that is filled with liquid that contains scaffolds are set, we can print 3D living cell structures. Floating condition is not good for cells. We developed new experimental set-up to reduce floating time of cells. We fabricate 3D bio-device that has blood vessels.
