Manipulating the three-dimensional (3D) structures of cells is important for facilitating to repair or regenerate tissues. A self-assembly system of cells with cellulose nanofibers (CNFs) and concentrated polymer brushes (CPBs) has been developed to fabricate various cell 3D structures. To further generate tissues at an implantable level, it is necessary to carry out a large number of experiments using different cell culture conditions and material properties; however this is practically intractable.

The three-dimensional (3D) cell culture technique has been applied comprehensively as a variable platform for medical research, biochemical signal pathway analysis, and evaluation of anti-tumor treatment response due to an excellent recapitulation of a tumor microenvironment (TME) in the cultured cancer cells. Pancreatic cancer (PaC) is one of the toughest malignancies with a complex TME and refractory treatment response. To comprehensively study the TME of PaC, there is an eager need to develop a 3D culture model to decompose the cellular components and their cross interactions.

The study of an adult mammalian auditory system, such as regeneration, has been hampered by the lack of an system in which hypotheses can be tested efficiently. This is primarily due to the fact that the adult inner ear is encased in the toughest bone of the body, whereas its removal leads to the death of the sensory epithelium in culture. We hypothesized that we could take advantage of the integral cochlear structure to maintain the overall inner ear architecture and improve sensory epithelium survival in culture.

Background: Management of chronic refractory wounds is one of the toughest clinical challenges for surgeons. Because of poor blood supply, less tissue coverage, and easy exposure, the lower leg is a common site for chronic refractory wounds. The current therapeutic regimens often lead to prolonged hospital stay and higher healthcare costs.
