Hydrogel Confinement Strategies for 3D Cell Culture in Microfluidic Systems
Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.Hydrogel confinement structures are key to organizing 3D cell cultures in microfluidic devices. This review classifies five structural strategies (micropillar, phaseguide, porous membrane, stepped‐height, and support‐free) and examines their trade‐offs alongside fabrication methods.
