Abstract
. Besides the innovation of materials, the culture methods and spatiotemporal cues during the culture stage are other directions of exploration for 3D culture systems. The ultimate goal of hydrogel 3D culture systems is to perfectly mimic the native microenvironment for the study of MSC behavior or the applications of MSC-based therapies.
