Superhydrophobic and Superhydrophilic Surfaces for Cell Trapping

This webinar explores the fabrication and application of superhydrophilic and superhydrophobic patterned surfaces, focusing on their use in single-cell trapping for advanced biomedical analysis. The talk details how these surfaces, made from silicon via plasma etching and coating, are optimized for their wetting properties and leveraged to selectively trap individual immune cells. The discussion also highlights the potential of these surfaces for future single-cell metabolomic and transcriptomic studies, with insights into the underlying material science and engineering challenges
