Abstract excerpt
We describe the fabrication of deformable microstructures by low-pressure-soft-microembossing (muSEmb) that provides in vitro experimental "test-beds" to investigate the interplay of mechanical and chemical stimuli on cell behavior in a highly controlled environment. Soft microembossing exploits the softness and plasticity of parafilm to fabricate microstructures by pressing a silicon master or an elastomeric...
