摘要: Abstract Multicellular spheroids (MCSs) are in vitro tissue models having important biomedical applications. The MCS generation is usually time-consuming because most fabrication methods exploit the inherent ability of cells to self-assemble form spheroids. Here we tried accelerate by chemical pre-aggregation cells. We first developed a method chemically aggregate cells, which involves treatment with NaIO 4 produce surface aldehyde functionalities, and then incubation acrylic acid-modified chitosan (chitosan-AA), new inter-cellular linker. Biocompatibility test indicates chitosan-AA non-toxic even at high concentration. When incubated in presence chitosan-AA, -treated quickly, reaction between amino groups on cell surface. In addition, resulting aggregates remain viability. pre-aggregated were seeded into an situ-formed hydrogel generate MCSs. While it takes several days MCSs control groups, only 1 day for compact group. formed group (231 ± 74 μm Day 4) bigger than those obtained (70 ± 17 μm at 4). grow proliferate faster (P
