AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing technologies are difficult to achieve efficient and safe large-scale preparation of extracellular vesicles. Chemical induction methods have safety concerns, and physical stimulation strategies such as cell membrane compression can cause cell damage. The application of microfluidic technology in upstream induction of cells to efficiently produce extracellular vesicles has not been fully explored.

Method used

By combining resonant chip technology with ultrasonic resonance and microfluidics, a micropillar array chip is fabricated by 3D printing. The micropillar array is driven by a piezoelectric sensor to generate controllable acoustic flow shear force, which stimulates cells non-contactly to increase extracellular vesicle production and avoids cell damage caused by chemical induction and direct mechanical compression.

Benefits of technology

It achieved an approximately 30-fold increase in extracellular vesicle yield, with high-quality vesicles and good cell viability, making it suitable as a drug delivery carrier and possessing the potential for large-scale preparation and industrial production.
