| Abstract | Producing sheet-like tissues is a promising strategy for implantable engineered tissues, because in vitro pre-vascularization is dispensable in this configuration. We developed a simple methodology for the formation and non-destructive harvesting of a thick pancreatic β-cell sheet consisting of mouse insulinoma MIN6-m9 cells and mouse NIH3T3 fibroblasts using an O2-permeable polydimethylsiloxane plate modified with poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (O2+/PNIPA–PDMS plate). Owing to the direct oxygenation of the cells through the PNIPA-modified PDMS plate, a viable, metabolically active sheet 5–6 cell layers thick (ca. 60 μm thick) was formed spontaneously; in the absence of direct oxygenation, only a thin cell sheet could be formed consisting of at most 2 layers (ca. 20 μm thick) with mainly anaerobic metabolism. Consequently, the net density of MIN6-m9 cells under direct oxygenation was about twice as high as in the absence of direct oxygenation. Accordingly, the insulin secretion for 10 to 60 min after glucose stimulation was also about 1.5 times higher with oxygenation. Furthermore, the thick cell sheet was successfully harvested from the O2+/PNIPA–PDMS plate surface in a non-destructive manner by inducing a phase transition of PNIPA by lowering the temperature below the lower critical solution temperature. Thus, the present report shows a promising and simple method to produce thick sheet-like engineered tissues for transplantation that could be used as a treatment for type 1 diabetes. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
