===Liquid-based template assembly===
The air-liquid surface established by [[Faraday waves]] is explored as a template to assemble biological entities for bottom-up tissue engineering. This liquid-based template can be dynamically reconfigured in a few seconds, and the assembly on the template can be achieved in a scalable and parallel manner. Assembly of microscale hydrogels, cells, neuron-seeded micro-carrier beads, cell spheroids into various symmetrical and periodic structures was demonstrated with good cell viability. Formation of 3-D neural network was achieved after 14-day tissue culture.<ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Chen P, Luo Z, Güven S, Tasoglu S, Ganesan AV, Weng A, Demirci U | title = Microscale assembly directed by liquid-based template | journal = Advanced Materials | volume = 26 | issue = 34 | pages = 5936–41 | date = September 2014 | pmid = 24956442 | pmc = 4159433 | doi = 10.1002/adma.201402079 | bibcode = 2014AdM....26.5936C }}</ref>
