Abstract

Endothelial cells have been widely used for vascular biology studies; recent progress in tissue engineering have offered three-dimensional (3D) culture systems for vascular endothelial cells which can be considered as physiologically relevant models. To facilitate the studies, we developed an electrochemical device to detect nitric oxide (NO), a key molecule in the vasculature, for the evaluation of 3D cultured endothelial cells. Using an NO-sensitive catalyst composed of Fe-N co-doped reduced graphene oxide, the real-time monitoring of NO release from the endothelial cell spheroids was demonstrated.
