Popis: The results of 3D culturing of human thyroid follicle-like structures in a gel based on platelet lysate at the gel-air interface are presented. During culturing up to 4 months, no new follicle-like structures were formed and none were destroyed. During the first 2 months, most follicle-like structures increased in size; then, their grown decelerated, but they retained viability. Ki-67+ cells were observed in the majority of follicle-like structures. Most of them produced thyroglobulin. Follicle-like structures get closer, the number of contacts between them increased, and cluster appeared. Thus, the developed 3D culturing system in a gel based on platelet lysate is an adequate approach for maintaining structure and functional activity of human follicle-like structures in vitro for at least 2 months.
