23 Jul Three-dimensional complex cell aggregate model as well as preparation method and application thereof
Abstract
The invention provides a three-dimensional complex cell aggregate model as well as a preparation method and application thereof. According to the model, a natural or chemically synthesized polymer is used as a matrix material to prepare submicron-scale microspheres, and cell factors are embedded in or fixed on the surface of the submicron-scale microspheres and are co-cultured with cells to form a complex cell aggregate containing the microspheres, so that the biological activity of the cells in the aggregate can be regulated and controlled from inside to outside. The model can be used for researches of propagation and differentiation of stem cells in a three-dimensional state, overcomes the problems that the cell aggregate is heterogeneous in composition/structure, the cell proliferation efficiency is low and the directional induced differentiation efficiency is low due to non-uniform mass transfer and short acting time of liquid factors in a culture medium during the traditional three-dimensional culture of the stem cells, can be used for stimulating interaction between cells and cells, cells and an extracellular matrix as well as cells and soluble factors, thereby providing a theoretical and technical support for in vitro construction and optimization of a stem cell culture technology, and tissue engineering construction of various tissue and organ analogs or equivalents.
