  • Publication number: 20190217291
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a device for patterning extracellular matrix (ECM) hydrogel comprising a first layer surface patterned to define a microchannel, a second layer comprising a loading channel in fluid communication with loading ports to receive an ECM hydrogel, wherein the first layer is attached over the second layer such that the patterned surface faces the loading channel to define an open chamber with regions of reduced cross-sectional area, and wherein the ECM hydrogel is confined to fill said regions, thereby forming a perfusable channel in the open chamber. The present disclosure also provides the same device wherein the second layer is a substrate without a loading channel and is optically pervious; and additionally provides a method of patterning ECM hydrogel comprising use of the aforementioned device. Importantly, ECM patterning is achieved by surface tension between the ECM hydrogel and the first layer at the boundaries of the microchannel.
