3D and organoid culture in research: physiology, hereditary genetic diseases and cancer

Abstract excerpt

In nature, cells reside in tissues subject to complex cell-cell interactions, signals from extracellular molecules and niche soluble and mechanical signaling. These microenvironment interactions are responsible for cellular phenotypes and functions, especially in normal settings. However, in 2D cultures, where interactions are limited to the horizontal plane, cells are exposed uniformly to factors or drugs;...
