3D Biomimetic Cultures: The Next Platform for Cell Biology

Abstract

Advances in engineering of cells and culture formats have led to the development of a new generation of 3D cultures that can recapitulate a variety of multicell-type, morphogenetic behaviors that were previously largely observable only in in vivo settings. Ultimately, these systems are likely to be assimilated into and forever change the landscape of biomedical research.
