Spheroid Models To Study Lung Cancer
Spheroid model has been shown to have features consistent with patient specific Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Spheroid tumours (NSCLC), characterised by extremely high clonal and morphological heterogeneity of tumours and multi-drug resistance. Lung malignancies accounts for 11% of cancer worldwide and remained leading cause of cancer deaths. Spheroids strongly depends on the cell composition…

Characterization Of Multicellular Tumor Spheroids
Multicellular tumor (MCT) spheroids are an essential tool in tumor related research, and drug screens. MCT can be defined as aggregates of heterogeneous cells, closely packed with highly dense spheroids. These cells exhibit strong cell-cell and cell-extracellular matrix (ECM) interactions representative of in vivo tumor physiology (1-2). However it if of importance to monitor…
