Abstract
Human adipose-derived stem cells (hADSCs) spheroids have displayed remarkable potential for treating ischemic injury. However, low nutrient (i.e., glucose and oxygen) availability in ischemic environments results in limited tissue viability posttransplantation. To develop an understanding of the effects of nutrient availability on spheroid survival, we utilized both <i>in vitro</i> and computational models to examine the limiting factors in metabolic supply for avascular microtissues, revealing the critical role of glucose to improve hADSC spheroid survival in ischemic conditions. These results may impact future strategies for improving hADSC transplantation efficacy through codelivery of metabolic substrates.
