摘要

As an emerging technology, organoids are promising new tools for basic and translational research in disease. Currently, the culture of organoids relies mainly on a type of unknown composition scaffold, namely Matrigel, which may pose problems in studying the effect of mechanical properties on organoids. Hydrogels, a new material with adjustable mechanical properties, can adapt to current studies. In this review, we summarized the synthesis of recent advance in developing definite hydrogel scaffolds for organoid culture and identified the critical parameters for regulating mechanical properties. In addition, classified by different mechanical properties like stiffness and viscoelasticity, we concluded the effect of mechanical properties on the development of organoids and tumor organoids. We hope this review enhances the understanding of the development of organoids by hydrogels and provides more practical approaches to investigating them.
