Three-dimensional (3D) cell culture technology has become one of the main focuses of tumor cell biology, using its various methods and materials to mimic the in vivo microenvironment of tumor cells cultured ex vivo. 3D…
Two-dimensional (2D) cell cultures have been used by researchers since the early 1900s, but we are well aware of how growing cells on planar surfaces has some drawbacks. Cells grown in vitro in 2D space…
Pre-clinical cell-based assays have become a crucial tool in the advancement of biomedical and pharmaceutical studies, particularly in developing diagnostic tools, drug discovery, pathophysiological research, and regenerative medicine. Cell based assays allow for reduced use…
Stem cells have the capacity to self-renew to produce additional stem cells by process of mitosis. They can be classified as multipotent (ability to give rise to multiple cells within a lineage), pluripotent (ability to…
Spheroids are three-dimensional structures that can be used as 3D cell culture models. It has been extensively shown that they mimic both architectural and structural property of human tissues. Spheroids play an increasingly crucial role…
