3D cell culture methods — and multicellular tumorspheroids(MCTS), in particular — are quickly becoming a valuable tool for studying the tumor microenvironment incancer research.
Cancer scientists are creating increasingly complex tumor models that more accurately replicatein vivoconditions — including the tumor microenvironment, which plays a key role in tumor progression, according to a study published inBioTechniques.
