3D Fabrication: Multiphoton Direct Laser Writing and 3D Imaging of Polymeric Freestanding Architectures for Cell Colonization (Small 27/2017)

In article number 1700621, Angelo Accardo and co-workers, create 3D freestanding scaffolds for cell culture by exploiting a direct laser writing approach with submicrometric resolution. The advanced multi-technique 3D imaging protocol provides efficient colonization of fast-growing mouse neuroblastoma (N2A) cells, both around the architecture and within its inner core, and the formation of long (≈60 μm) neuritic extensions.
