Abstract excerpt
Breast cancer is classified into distinct molecular subtypes, including Luminal A, Luminal B, HER2-enriched, Basal-like, and Claudin-low. While traditional studies mostly use 2D cell cultures, 3D models better mimic in vivo tumor conditions. In this study, we generated and characterized 3D spheroids from breast cancer cell lines representing different molecular subtypes. Morphologically, spheroids were either...
