The paper "Metre-long cell-laden microfibres exhibit tissue morphologies and functions (Nature Materials volume 12, pages584–590 (2013))" published a design for a microextruder for processing hydrogel fibers. The project will duplicate, improve and multiplex the design, make the device. The Lei lab will test the performance of the device.
