Biological Activity
Description
In Vitro
Polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), a non-ionic polymer, has been employed in multifarious fields such as paper, fibers and textiles, ceramics, and pharmaceutics due to its superior properties. Especially in pharmacy, the properties of inertness, non-toxicity, and biocompatibility make it a versatile excipient for both conventional formulations and novel controlled or targeted delivery systems, serving as a binder, coating agent, suspending agent, pore-former, solubilizer, stabilizer, etc. Polyvinylpyrrolidone with different molecular weights (MWs) and concentrations is used in a variety of formulations for different purposes[2].

Protocols

3D Hydrogel Synthetic Scaffold Culture
3D hydrogel synthetic scaffold culture embeds cells, spheroids, organoids, or tissue fragments inside a hydrated crosslinked polymer network so that cells receive matrix and cell-cell cues in three dimensions rather than from a flat plastic surface. A literature-supported model protocol is PEG-4MAL hydrogel culture, in which four-arm maleimide-terminated PEG is functionalized with cysteine-containing adhesive peptides such as RGD and crosslinked with protease-degradable peptides such as GPQ-W; this creates a defined, modular scaffold that supports human organoid generation and culture. The readouts are scaffold-supported growth, morphology, lumen formation, budding, viability, proliferation, lineage-marker expression, and matrix-dependent expansion or differentiation; reported assays include transmitted-light imaging, immunofluorescence, in situ hybridization, qRT-PCR, and rheological characterization.
