Spheroid Engineering in Microfluidic Devices
Research Overview
Microfluidic devices offer precise control over the conditions in which spheroids form and grow, making them an increasingly common alternative to plate-based methods.
This review surveys recent microfluidic techniques for spheroid fabrication and the organ-on-a-chip applications that follow from them. It covers how such platforms are used in disease modeling and in drug development studies, where controlling spheroid size and the flow conditions around each spheroid matters for reproducibility.
Because the abstract available for this paper is a fragment, the summary above reflects only what that fragment states.
