Explore 3D Spheroid Model Environments
3D spheroids are simple, widely used multicellular 3D models that form due to the tendency of adherent cells to aggregate. Spheroids can be generated from a broad range of cell types including tumor spheroids, embryoid bodies, hepatospheres, neurospheres, and mammospheres.
3D multicellular spheroids can develop metabolic gradients that create heterogeneous cell populations with superior cell-to-cell and cell-to-ECM interactions.1 3D spheroids offer a more physiologically relevant model as compared to 2D cell culture and can successfully mimic the microenvironment of a variety of tissue types in disease states.
