Abstract
The present disclosure provides a method of fabricating cell, such as stem cell, arrays on a carrier where the surface energy of the carrier has been modified and patterned so that only areas of low contact angle are wetted by a water based cell solution. The patterned cell solution when applied to the carrier surface then self assembles into a 3 dimensional micro pattern on the carrier that mimics the surface topography of mammalian organs.
