Organoids, which are 3D cell cultures derived from stem cells, present new opportunities for personalized cancer treatment and precision medicine. However, the absence of a tumor microenvironment (TME ...

Culture has long been the defining subject of anthropology, yet the concept has faced repeated calls for abandonment, largely because it resists easy ...

Research and drug discovery are undergoing a transformation, driven by the rise of 3D cell culture models that better replicate human biology. Unlike traditional 2D cultures and animal models, which ...

For decades, human cancer cell lines have been indispensable models for cancer research, already replacing a significant number of animal experiments. However, the use of fetal bovine serum (FBS) in ...

Infectious microbes have evolved sophisticated means to invade host cells, outwit the body's defenses and cause disease. While researchers have tried to puzzle out the complicated interactions between ...

A human cell culture model of the lung's most important immune cells, alveolar macrophages, helped make a key finding that is prompting researchers to rethink the role of another immune protein. A ...

Article reviewed by Julía Crispim da Fontoura, a PhD candidate at the Federal University of Health Sciences of Porto Alegre, Brazil who uses organoids to study drug resistance. Stay up to date on the ...

Organoids are three-dimensional cell cultures derived from stem cells. These cultures offer an array of new opportunities for precision medicine and highly personalized cancer treatment, but the ...
