Two-Dimensional and Spheroid-Based Three-Dimensional Cell Culture Systems: Implications for Drug Discovery in Cancer
2024-06-13
Abstract excerpt
The monolayer (two-dimensional or 2D) cell culture, while widely used, lacks fidelity in replicating vital cell interactions seen in vivo, leading to a shift toward three-dimensional (3D) models. Although monolayers offer simplicity and cost-effectiveness, spheroids mimic cellular environments better. This is due to its nutrient gradients, which influence drug penetration and provide a more accurate reflection of...
