Abstract

Key findings

  • Hepatocyte spheroids were successfully formed on the rubbed polyimide membrane with high viability and uniformity.
  • The spheroids showed improved cell-cell interactions and enhanced liver-specific functions compared to traditional 2D cultures.
  • The rubbed polyimide membrane facilitated the formation of spheroids with a diameter of 200-300 μm, suitable for transplantation.
