Capturing tumor complexity in vitro: Comparative analysis of 2D and 3D tumor models for drug discovery
Two-dimensional (2D) cell cultures growing on plastic do not recapitulate the three dimensional (3D) architecture and complexity of human tumors. More representative models are required for drug discovery and validation. Here, 2D culture and 3D mono- and stromal co-culture models of increasing compl...
