Development of a Simple Spheroid Production Method Using Fluoropolymers with Reduced Chemical and Physical Damage

Establishing an in vitro–based cell culture system that can realistically simulate in vivo cell dynamics is desirable. It is thus necessary to develop a method for producing a large amount of cell aggregates (i.e., spheroids) that are uniform in size and quality. Various methods have been proposed f...
