Viability of HepG2 embedded in algMC with and without Matrigel. (A) cLSM images of live/dead staining of HepG2 embedded in printed scaffolds at day 2, 7, and 10 of cultivation. Viable cells stained green (calcein), whereas dead cells are stained red (ethidium homodimer-1); scale bar = 250 µm. (B) Percent viability (volume ratio of viable vs. total clusters) comparing the two conditions (n = 6, mean ± SD, ****p < 0.0001).
