Abstract
We have conducted a new method in cell stimulation by utilizing micro-beads. HeLa cells were cultured in PDMS (Polydimethylsiloxane) microfluidic device and were stimulated using micro-beads with a mean diameter of 2Pm and 11Pm. The rate of proliferation of cells was compared for devices which circulated the cell culture medium either with or without micro-beads for a specific time interval. Two types of devices have been used for cell stimulation: a straight channel for two dimensional stimulation and a multi-layered channel for three dimensional stimulation (Figure 1).
