Abstract excerpt
Continuous passaging of cancer cell lines can drive phenotypic and genotypic divergence, potentially compromising the reliability of such models. In this study, we show that two late-passage strains (S1 and S2) of ovarian cancer cell line SKOV3, although authenticated via short tandem repeat (STR) profiling as identical, exhibit substantial differences in morphology, transcriptomic signatures, ability to form 3D...
