3d Cell Culture Using Monodisperse Peptide Hydrogel Beads
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe a three-dimensional (3D) cell culture system using monodisperse peptide hydrogel beads. We utilized a self-assembling peptide hydrogel to provide cells in vivo-like microenvironment. We succeeded in encapsulating endothelial cells within the hydrogels by using a 3D microfluidic axisymmetric flow-focusing device (AFFD), and showed the encapsulated endothelial cells were viable and were able to migrate within the gels.
