Drastic differences in the ways cells behave and respond to drugs are observed when cells are cultured using 3D instead of 2D approaches. These differences are driving the adoption of more advanced ...

A newly developed software program provides accurate and precise measurements of the volume of cellular spheroids. Researchers prefer 3-D multicellular cancer spheroids over 2-D cell cultures for ...

The utilization of multi-cell tumor spheroids as an oncology research model has quickly increased because of a greater understanding of the effects of the tumor microenvironment, along with the ...

As organisms develop from embryos, groups of cells migrate and reshape themselves to form all manner of complex tissues. There are no anatomical molds shaped like lungs, livers or other tissues for ...
