Background:

Stacked cell culture is a promising 3D technique in tissue engineering.
Existing prototypes utilize various scaffold materials.

Purpose of the Study:

To enhance cell culture by integrating an alginate membrane with a 3D-printed polylactic acid stacking platform.
To evaluate the biocompatibility and cell growth promotion of the stacked culture system.

Main Methods:

Fabrication of a three-layer 3D-printed polylactic acid platform.
Seeding cells (L929 and MG-63) on alginate-based membranes.
Assessment of membrane properties (degradation, tensile strength) and cell performance (viability, Live/Dead staining, SEM imaging, gene expression).

Main Results:

Alginate membrane composition influenced degradation rate and tensile strength.
The stacked culture system maintained over 70% cell viability per layer for both cell types.
MG-63 cells showed enhanced osteoblastic differentiation, with increased bone-related gene expression in upper layers.

Conclusions:

The developed stacked cell culture system demonstrates biocompatibility and supports cell growth and differentiation.
This prototype holds potential for tissue engineering, including stem cell culture and large-scale 3D tissue development.
