In contrast to CIJ, DOD ejects droplets when required only. Some examples of suitable compounds for this purpose include, but are not limited to, agarose, poly(isopropyl N-polyacrylamide) gels, and so forth. Stem cells (such as pluripotent or multipotent cells) are capable of differentiating into multiple different cell types or lines, including at least one of a hepatogenic-specific (or liver-specific) cell line, a myogenic (or muscle specific) cell line, an osteogenic (or bone specific) cell line, or an endothelial specific cell line. These compounds may be applied to the substrate using conventional techniques, such as manually, in a wash or bath, through vapor deposition (e.g., physical or chemical-vapor deposition), etc. 6,403,559, 6,001,803, and 5,545,533). In still another embodiment, anti-sonic hedgehog (Anti-Shh) and co-culturing with pancreatic rudiments can be used to induce pancreatic differentiation in vitro.

Adhesives may also be utilized to assist in the survival of the cells after printing. Printing may be simultaneous, sequential, or any combination thereof. For instance, the use of a liquid carrier in the cell composition can ensure adequate hydration and minimize evaporation of the cells after printing. New York, Heidelberg et al. The resulting image is analyzed for droplet volume and droplet positioning estimation. To control the ejection direction, the droplets are electrically charged and steered by an electrostatic or magnetic field. printed neuronal cells were shown to produce neurites earlier compared to controls, and over several days, produced longer neurites which become most evident by day 7, which can be utilized for lab-on-a-chip technologies and to create printed neural networks for neuroscience applications. When printing certain types of two-dimensional or three-dimensional arrays, it is sometimes desired that any subsequent cell growth is substantially limited to a predefined region. The formation of vascularization was reconfirmed by the presence of blood vessels, which were positively expressed with the endothelial cell-specific marker: vWF (FIG. From the sample, stem cells or pluripotent cells may be isolated with the use of a particular marker or selection antibody that specifically binds stem cells, in accordance with known techniques such as affinity binding and/or cell sorting.
