2.5-dimensional cell growth approaches, enhanced by plasmas, are the likely future for applications in medicine and ...

Fibrin hydrogel, an oft-used two-dimensional scaffold for in vitro cell culture, was recently functionalized to grow human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) in three dimensions. This advance ...

This article is based on a poster originally authored by Fiona Leslie, Chloe Whiting, and Megan Webster. TGF-β1-mediated activation of fibroblasts, their transition to α-SMA-expressing myofibroblasts, ...

Advanced in vitro models such as organ-on-chip systems aim to replicate human physiology more accurately than conventional cell cultures. However, most existing platforms struggle to incorporate ...

Predicting how circulating immune cells interact with human tissues remains a major challenge in preclinical drug testing. Traditional static culture ...

To many cancer biologists, the in vitro culturing of cancer cells and even tumors is so commonplace that we often don’t think twice about it. What does it take to grow cancer in a dish? As it turns ...

Phenotypic 3D cell models incorporate tissue architectures and extracellular matrices to recapitulate the complexity of the ...
