Fibroblast-collagen matrix culture has facilitated the analysis of cell physiology under conditions that more closely resemble an in vivo-like environment compared to conventional 2-dimensional (2D) ...

A study shows that 3D ultrasound incorporating new matrix technology is reliable, accurate, and faster than previous methods for the assessment of plaque volume in the carotid and femoral arteries. A ...

Organoids—self-organizing, self-reproducing structures that serve as 3D in vitro models—date back to 2009. Back then, researchers at the Hubrecht Institute led by Hans Clevers, PhD, introduced a ...

Polarized epithelial cells form barriers that separate the inner and outer layers of various organs such as kidney, colon, lung, and mammary glands. Epithelial barriers are essential for controlling ...
