Crosslinking of trimethylene carbonate and D, L-lactide (co-) polymers by gamma irradiation in the presence of pentaerythritol triacrylate.

abstract：:Multicellular tumor spheroid (MCTS) mimics microenvironment for tumor formation and provides predictive insight for in vivo tests. The hanging drop (HD) method of spheroid generation is cost effective, but it is limited by a long time duration for spheroid development and a low rate of formation of larger spheroids. T...
