Summary: Cell behaviors depend on the elastic properties of the microenvironments, which differ from polymer-based substrates. Metamaterials, with adjustable elastic properties, offer a promising way to mechanically control stem cells. By designing microstructured bio-metamaterials based on a silicon elastomer-like photoresist and two-photon laser printing, the differential responses of human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) correlate with the calculated elastic properties of the bio-metamaterials, suggesting the potential of using bio-metamaterials for cell behavior regulation.

Intracellular action potential recordings from cardiomyocytes by ultrafast pulsed laser irradiation of fuzzy graphene microelectrodes

Michele Dipalo et al.

Summary: Researchers have successfully recorded intracellular cardiac action potentials with high signal-to-noise ratio using a microelectrode platform made of three-dimensional fuzzy graphene (3DFG). By utilizing ultrafast pulsed laser for porating the cell membrane, an intimate contact between the 3DFG electrodes and the intracellular domain was created, enabling the detection of drug effects on human-derived cardiomyocytes' action potential shape. This approach may be applied to monitor cellular electrophysiological states, especially for studying the impact of drugs on cardiac cells.

Inkjet-Printed and Electroplated 3D Electrodes for Recording Extracellular Signals in Cell Culture

Leroy Grob et al.

Summary: Recent investigations into cardiac or nervous tissues require 3D electrical recording, leading to the fabrication of 3D microelectrode arrays using additive manufacturing technology. The user-defined 3D electrodes were produced by adjusting the number of deposited silver nanoparticle ink droplets. The functionality of the array was confirmed through impedance spectroscopy, cyclic voltammetry, and recordings of extracellular potentials from HL-1 cells.

Distinct roles of nonmuscle myosin II isoforms for establishing tension and elasticity during cell morphodynamics

Kai Weissenbruch et al.

Summary: Nonmuscle myosin II (NM II) plays a crucial role in cellular adhesion and migration, with its isoforms NM IIA and IIB essential for generating and stabilizing cellular tension. This study demonstrated that in a structured environment, cells can exhibit invaginated actin arcs even without NM IIA-induced contractility. Additionally, a novel role for NM IIC in establishing tensional homeostasis was identified through dynamic cell stretch/release experiments in a three-dimensional scaffold.

Controlled Surface Adhesion of Macrophages via Patterned Antifouling Polymer Brushes

Johannes Striebel et al.

Summary: Macrophages are crucial in cancer diagnostics and immunotherapies, but capturing and sorting different subpopulations remains a challenge due to their innate ability to bind to various interfaces indiscriminately. By patterning interfaces and constructing arrays of binding sites, researchers have successfully demonstrated the selective capture of macrophages, particularly M2 macrophages. This innovative approach shows promise for further therapeutic or diagnostic purposes in the future.
