Abstract

This work demonstrates forming tumor spheroids in 3D paper scaffolds in a microarray configuration. The patterns were fabricated by vaporizing the paper with Trichloro silane gas through a 3D printed stencil, generating hydrophobic and hydrophilic regions, where cells localize and grow to form spheroid structures. The technology is developed for high throughput spheroids formation and localizations within the 3D paper environment offering cost and time-effective tool for anti-cancer drug discovery applications.
