Applications of 3D Culture

Cell culture is moving from flat monolayers to three-dimensional (3D) systems to better mimic cell–cell interactions and microenvironmental cues that shape biological behavior in tissues.  

Choosing the right 3D method depends on the application, as different formats offer different trade-offs between throughput, physiological complexity, and cost. 

This infographic lays out several 3D culture techniques and the research areas these approaches are being applied to.
