Cover Story: Three-dimensional (3D) adipocyte cultures provide physiologically relevant models for studying adipose tissue metabolism. However, long-term culture remains challenging due to spheroid loss during media changes. To address this, we investigated the effect of incorporating arginine–glycine–aspartic acid (RGD) sequences at the N- or C-terminus of elastin-like polypeptide (ELP) coatings on spheroid retention. Our findings show that attaching RGD to the C-terminus of ELP significantly improves spheroid adhesion and stability. RGD modification preserves ELP’s phase transition behavior while optimizing spheroid retention, highlighting its potential for improving 3D cell culture platforms in biomaterials and tissue engineering applications.
