Area of Science:

  • Biotechnology
  • Materials Science
  • Cell Biology

Background:

  • Single-cell microarrays offer insights into cellular diversity and disease mechanisms.
  • Current fabrication methods are often complex, costly, and environmentally unfriendly.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a green, aqueous inkjet printing strategy for fabricating single-cell capture biochips.
  • To enable precise control over cell capture for disease research applications.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing all-aqueous inkjet printing to deposit chitosan films onto glass surfaces.
  • Grafting poly(ethylene glycol) diglycidyl ether onto chitosan for antifouling properties and reactive epoxy groups.
  • Printing microscale collagen spots to define single-cell attachment areas.

Main Results:

  • Successfully fabricated single-cell capture biochips using an environmentally friendly approach.
  • Demonstrated control over cell capture density, ranging from single cells to multiple cells per spot.
  • Validated the platform's utility through proof-of-principle pharmacological treatment of single cancer cells.

Conclusions:

  • The developed inkjet printing strategy provides an innovative and sustainable method for creating cellular devices.
  • This approach facilitates in-depth analysis of cellular heterogeneity and disease processes.
  • Paves the way for a new generation of aqueous-based, inkjet-printed cellular platforms.
