Drastic differences in the ways cells behave and respond to drugs are observed when cells are cultured using 3D instead of 2D approaches. These differences are driving the adoption of more advanced ...

Researchers have used the ALMA telescope and found old elliptical galaxies in the universe can form from intense star formation within early galaxy cores. An international team of researchers ...

Galaxies in the Universe exhibit a variety of shapes and can be broadly classified into two categories. The first category includes younger, disk-like spiral galaxies, such as the Milky Way, which are ...

An increasing amount of research indicates that more translational and appropriate observations can be made with organoids and micro-tissues in comparison with 2D monolayer cell models. This is most ...

In basic and applied biology research, such as investigations of stem cells and drug screening, spheroid cell cultures are valuable, providing a more realistic test environment than the 2D cultures ...

Evaluating Anticancer Drugs and Building Tissue and Tumor Co-Culture Models Among Uses The need for new tools and technologies to decrease the cost of drug discovery and reduce animal testing has been ...

Distribution of CDH13, CDH1, MGMT and PTEN promoter methylation and KRAS, BRAF and EGFR mutation in colorectal cancer.

Schematic diagram shows how spheroid formation occurs in distant submillimetre-bright galaxies, and how this process connects to the evolution of giant elliptical galaxies in today's Universe. On the ...

(Nanowerk News) An international team of researchers including The University of Tokyo Kavli Institute for the Physics and Mathematics of the Universe (Kavli IPMU, WPI) has found evidence showing that ...
