Cancer research studies have traditionally relied on 2D systems, but researchers are increasingly turning to 3D cell cultures. This is because they better recapitulate the original tissue architecture, which is known to affect key cellular processes, including cell signaling, proliferation, viability, and drug response. By providing more physiologically relevant models, 3D cell cultures can bridge the gap between in vitro and in vivo models.
