The purpose of this study is to argue the case for the use of grounded theory as a valid method for the relationship among collaboration climate, supplier relationship, trust, knowledge management, and performance. The grounded theory research method that was employed in this study is a primarily inductive investigative process in which the researcher formulates a theory about a phenomenon by systematically gathering and analyzing relevant data. This research method is trying to building theory, not testing theory. The data that was gathered for this study primarily consisted of semi-structured in-depth interviews with informants of varying industry, scale and management level.

This article presents a Negative-pressure-powered U-trapper of Spheroid Assembling System (NUSAS) and four unique features are addressed: (1) Negative pressure powered medium driving, (2) HepG2/3T3 gradient distribution and mixing co-culture, (3) Cell trapping effect via gravity force and liquid flow co-activation, and (4) Large area of U trapper array. The development of in vitro liver device benefits liver toxicology and metabolism.[1,2] However, due to the complexity of human liver tissue, it has been rarely discussed what kind of hepatocyte to fibroblast ratio has nearest performance to a real liver tissue. Here, we culture liver/fibroblast cells with gradient ratio as multicellular assembling spheroids simultaneously to find this ratio. These results based on our efficient approaches give us meaningful foundations to investigate biomedical character of 3D HepG2/3T3 artificial tissue in different mixing cell conditions.
