| contents | Spheroids are aggregates of cells that can mimic the cellular organization often found in tissues. They are typically formed through the self-assembly of cells in a culture where there is a promotion of interactions and cell-to-cell communication. Spheroids can be created from various cell types, including cancer cells, stem cells, and primary cells, and they serve as valuable tools in biological research. In this letter, molecule propagation from a point source is simulated in the presence of multiple spheroids to observe the impact of the spheroids on the spatial molecule distribution. The spheroids are modeled as porous media with a corresponding effective diffusion coefficient. System variations are considered with a higher spheroid porosity (i.e., with a higher effective diffusion coefficient) and with molecule uptake by the spheroid cells (approximated as a first-order degradation reaction while molecules diffuse within the spheroid). Results provide initial insights about the molecule propagation dynamics and their potential to model transport and drug delivery within crowded spheroid systems. |
