Growing cells on specific patterns can promote the formation of spheroids or organoids, mimicking tissue architecture and improving cellular organization. These patterned growth strategies aid in creating more physiologically relevant models for research and regenerative medicine. The confocal imaging was performed using a Nikon W1 spinning disk confocal equipped with a 10x Plan Apo λ objective and a spinning disk with 25 μm diameter pinholes. The scaffold was created using 3D printing technique through vat polymerization. Blue: DAPI (nuclei), green: F-actin, red: Ki67, purple (background): patterned scaffold.
