Abstract
Summary: The impact of mechanical stresses on the alveolar immune response was also studied by patterning alveolar macrophages onto confluent monolayers of alveolar epithelial cells using aqueous two-phase (ATPS) printing. Using this technique, increased migration rates in co-cultures experiencing physiologic stretch levels were demonstrated compared to migration in static cultures.
