Development and evaluation of a novel approach to producing uniform 3-D tumor spheroid constructs
In vitro tumor spheroid models have been developed using microfluidic systems to generate 3-D hydrogel beads containing components of alginate and ECM protein, such as collagen, with high uniformity and throughput. During bead gelation, alginate acts as a fast gelling component helping to maintain t...
