Abstract:Reconstruction of large 3D tissues based on assembly of micro-sized multi-cellular spheroids has gained attention in tissue engineering. However, formation of 3D adipose tissue from spheroids has been challenging due to the limited adhesion capability and restricted cell mobility of adipocytes in culture media. In this study, we addressed this problem by developing adipo-inductive nanofibers enabling dual delivery of indomethacin and insulin. These nanofibers were introduced into composite spheroids comprising… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
