    While long-term storage of organoids allows for continued organoid technology development and clinical translation, ice crystal formation makes freezing complex tissues difficult.

  2. The Tumor Microenvironment And Advances In Spheroid Tumor Studies 12/27/2021

    Multicellular tumor spheroids (MCTS) mimic many of the features that tumors exhibit in the human body making them a valuable tool for studying the tumor microenvironment in cancer research.

  3. The Future Of Joint Replacement Is Tissue Engineering 12/23/2021

    Joint replacement is intensive and invasive, sometimes dangerous or contraindicated, and not always successful. Could tissue engineering and 3D cells create functional replacement tissue for joints damaged by osteoarthritis?

  4. Cellular Scaffolding And Modern Tissue Engineering 12/23/2021

    Some applications favor the scaffold-based approach; others are best-suited for a scaffold-free platform. Knowing the differences is crucial to saving time and money and avoiding the frustration of rerunning failed trials.

  5. A 3D Cell Culture Primer: Freezing, Culturing, And Measuring Organoids 12/22/2021

    Organoid applications have virtually limitless potential, but they're much more complicated than 2D cultures or 3D spheroids. Here, we share a few tips, tricks, and best practices about freezing, culturing, and measuring organoids that can help you dive into 3D cell culturing right away.

  6. 3D Cell Culture: From Academia To Big Pharma 12/22/2021

    While literature had long praised the promise of 3D, the industry uptake didn't accelerate until it became operationally feasible to produce 3D work at scale. Commercial tools and technologies that make 3D more accessible and less labor-intensive have helped make that happen.

  7. Breast Cancer Microenvironments: Then, Now And Tomorrow 12/20/2021

    Researchers are keenly interested in studying cancer microenvironments because of their utility in understanding cancer progression. As cancer investigators continue to glean the reconstructive benefits of 3D models' in vivo-like contexts for their investigations, those learnings have yielded a better understanding of how — and why — 3D is superior to 2D when creating cancer microenvironments.

  8. 3D Cell Culture And Drug Discovery 12/20/2021
