摘 要:Since conventional human cardiac two-dimensional(2D)cell culture and multilayered three-dimensional(3D)models fail in recapitulating cellular complexity and possess inferior translational capacity,we designed and developed a high-throughput scalable 3D bioprinted cardiac spheroidal droplet-organoid model with cardiomyocytes and cardiac fibroblasts that can be used for drug screening or regenerative engineering *** study helped establish the parameters for bioprinting and cross-linking a gelatin-alginate-based bioink into 3D spheroidal droplets.A flattened disk-like structure developed in prior studies from our laboratory was used as a *** microstructural and mechanical stability of the 3D spheroidal droplets was assessed and was found to be ideal for a cardiac *** human cardiac fibroblasts and AC16 cardiomyocytes were mixed in the bioink and ***-dead assay and flow cytometry analysis revealed robust biocompatibility of the 3D spheroidal droplets that supported the growth and proliferation of the cardiac cells in the long-term ***,the heterocellular gap junctional coupling between the cardiomyocytes and cardiac fibroblasts further validated the 3D cardiac spheroidal droplet model.
