Fabrication of Two-photon Polymerized 2.5D and 3D Microstructures to Optimize Primary Microglia Cell Culture

Microglia, the resident macrophages of the central nervous system, are key players in neuroinflammation and neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. These cells represent promising cellular targets for therapeutic intervention, therefore a detailed cellular biological knowledge of microglia is of paramount importance....

Toward 3D printed suspended microchannel resonators: A study on damping and mass resolution of 3D printed microbeam resonators

Biosensing properties like mass, density and stiffness on a single cell level can help diagnose diseases. Mass sensing of cells and subcellular components is typically performed with resonant microstructures. Recently such microstructures were fabricated using an emerging 3D printing technique called two-photon polymerization (2PP) contrary to...
