This article demonstrates the fabrication of 3D cell-like structures using a femtosecond laser-based two-photon polymerization technique. The structures resemble the morphological and biomechanical characteristics of natural cells and can be interchangeably filled with precursor solutions without impairing the microstructures. The combination of two-photon polymerization and microrheological measurements by optical tweezers provides a powerful toolbox for future investigations into cell mimic and artificial cell studies.
In this article, we demonstrate the fabrication of 3D cell-like structures using a femtosecond laser-based two-photon polymerization technique. By employing poly(ethylene glycol) diacrylate monomers as a precursor solution, we fabricate 3D hemispheres that resemble morphological and biomechanical characteristics of natural cells. We employ an optical tweezers based microrheology technique to measure the viscoelastic properties of the precursor solutions inside and outside the structures. In addition, we demonstrate the interchangeability of the precursor solution within fabricated structures without impairing the microstructures. The combination of two-photon polymerization and microrheological measurements by optical tweezers demonstrated here represents a powerful toolbox for future investigations into cell mimic and artificial cell studies.
