Abstract :
Cell-scaffold interaction is important for characterizing cell´s mechanism such as differentiation or migration of cells. Therefore analyzing technique of the force exerted by a cell is required. In this research, we aim to realize high speed measurement of cellular traction force by applying the technique of existing vision-based tactile sensor. To achieve the measurement, we need to fabricate cellular scaffold which contain two layers of lattice patterned beads. In this paper, we report about fabrication process of the scaffold and experiment of cell culture on fabricated scaffold.
