Three-dimensional cell spheroids show promise for the reconstruction of native tissues. Herein, we report a sophisticated, uniform, and highly reproducible spheroid culture system for tissue reconstruction. A mesh-integrated culture system was designed to precisely control the uniformity and reproducibility of spheroid formation. Furthermore, we synthesized hexanoyl glycol chitosan, a material with ultralow cell adhesion properties, to further improve spheroid formation efficiency and biological function. Our results demonstrate improved biological function in various types of cells and ability to generate spheroids with complex structures composed of multiple cell types. In conclusion, our spheroid culture system offers a highly effective and widely applicable approach to generating customized spheroids with desired structural and biological features for a variety of biomedical applications.
三维细胞球体在重建天然组织方面具有广阔的应用前景。在此,我们报告了一种复杂、均匀且高度可重复的球体培养系统,用于组织重建。设计了一种网格集成的培养系统,以精确控制球体形成的均匀性和重现性。此外,我们合成了具有超低细胞黏附特性的己酰化乙二醇壳聚糖,进一步提高了球体的形成效率和生物学功能。我们的结果表明,在各种类型的细胞中,细胞的生物学功能得到了改善,并且能够生成具有多种细胞类型组成的复杂结构的球体。总之,我们的球体培养系统为各种生物医学应用提供了一种高效且广泛适用的方法,可生成具有所需结构和生物学特性的定制化球体。
