3D cell culture refers to an in-vitro technique that involves the creation of an artificial environment. After that, the biological cells can grow, formulate, or interact with their surroundings in all three dimensions. After reacting with their three-dimensional surroundings, 3D cell migrates or differentiates from normal cells. It was proven that cell grown in the 3D culture models is physiologically relevant.
These cells have shown improvements in various studies of biological mechanisms, including proliferation, cell morphology, cell number monitoring, migration & invasion of tumor cells, viability, differentiation, drug metabolism, immune system evasion, response to stimuli, and others.
Therefore, 3D cell cultures facilitate the adoption in the research field as it is beneficial in analyzing and studying the etiology of diseases. The growth of the 3D cell culture market is driven mainly by the increasing focus on personalized medicine, the rising incidence of chronic diseases, the availability of funding for research, and the increasing focus on developing alternatives to animal testing.
