title = "Three dimensional spheroids formation platform using micro-rotation flow",
abstract = "Hepatocytes increase cell densities and acquire their liver-specific functions during the tissue formation from isolated cells. We developed three dimentional sphedoids formation platform using micro-rotation flow. Based on results of simulations and micro PIV, This chamber were designed to have a circular cylindrical shape with two inlets tangent to the circle at the bottom and two outlet channels at the top. The developed platform could not only form three dimensional spheroids, but also conrol sizes with micro meter scale only by a micro-rotation flow repeatedly. This platform will be applied to be new drug screening systems and hybrid artificial organs.",
