Scientific Sharing by Prof. Elmer Ker, Prof. Rocky Tuan, Prof. Michelle Wang, Dr. Xu Zhang, Dr. Ke Li
This research project is completed under Prof. KER Dai Fei Elmer. It is worth noting that Dr. Ke Li, who took part in this project, was an iTERM/SBS Ph.D. student who graduated last year and is now [...]
Deciphering and Engineering Tissue Folding: A Mechanical Perspective
This research project is completed under Prof. Hon Fai CHAN. Tissue folding is a common phenomenon in a variety of organisms including human, and has been shown to serve important structural and functional roles. [...]
Efficient Fabrication of Monodisperse Hepatocyte Spheroids and Encapsulation in Hybrid Hydrogel with Controllable Extracellular Matrix Effect
This research project is completed under Prof. Hon Fai CHAN. Three-dimensional (3D) cultures, such as spheroid and organoid cultures, have gained increasing interest as 3D culture models. However, the understanding and control of extracellular [...]
Engineering Hydrogel for Biomedical Applications
Hepatocyte spheroids can contribute to liver research in various capacities. However, the technique of spheroid culture is far from optimal, as it is challenging to generate and maintain uniform-sized spheroids on a large scale. Moreover, [...]
