Dual-photoresponsive substrates enabling light-induced single-cell patterning and sorting of nonadherent mammalian cells

Key Points

• Light-induced patterning allows precise control over single-cell distribution and organization, improving cell sorting efficacy.
• The technique effectively sorts nonadherent mammalian cells using dual-photoresponsive substrates in various conditions.
• Capable of manipulating cellular arrangements, enabling new strategies for biomedical applications and research.
• Highlights potential for enhanced cellular studies and therapeutic developments, though real-world applications need further exploration.
