Human disc cells in monolayer vs 3D culture: cell shape, division and matrix formation
23 Oct 2000
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The relationship between cell shape, proliferation, and extracellular matrix (ECM) production, important aspects of cell behavior, is examined in a little-studied cell type, the human annulus cell from the intervertebral disc, during monolayer vs three-dimensional (3D) culture. RESULTS: Three experimental studies showed that cells respond specifically to culture microenvironments by changes in cell...
