Abstract
Stem cells have infinite potential for regenerative therapy thanks to their advantageous ability which is differentiable to requisite
cell types for recovery and self-renewal. The microsystem has been proved to be more helpful to stem cell studies compared to
the traditional methods, relying on its advantageous feature of mimicking in vivo cellular environments as well as other profitable
features such as minimum sample consumption for analysis and multiprocedures. A wide variety of microsystems were developed
for stemcell studies; however, regenerative therapy-targeted applications of microtechnology should bemore emphasized and gain
more attractions since the regenerative therapy is one of ultimate goals of biologists and bioengineers. In this review, we introduce
stem cell researches harnessing well-known microtechniques (microwell, micropattern, and microfluidic channel) in view point of
physical principles and how these systems and principles have been implemented appropriately for characterizing stem cells and
finding possible regenerative therapies. Biologists may gain information on the principles of microsystems to apply them to find
solutions for their current challenges, and engineers may understand limitations of the conventional microsystems and find new
chances for further developing practical microsystems. Through the well combination of engineers and biologists, the regenerative
therapy-targeted stem cell researches harnessing microtechnology will find better suitable treatments for human disorders.
