3D cell culture
3D cell culture is a cell biology technique for growing cells in three-dimensional scaffolds, gels, or aggregates, producing tissue-like architecture and cell–cell contacts absent from flat monolayers.
Culture Diffusion Chambers
Culture diffusion chambers, also called semipermeable chambers or tissue cages, are devices for growing cells or tissues in vitro or implanted in vivo within solute-permeable walls, used for hemopoiesis, bone formation, drug transport, and immunologic studies.
Organoid culture
Organoid culture is a cell culture method in which stem cells grown in a three-dimensional matrix self-organize into miniature organ-like structures used to study development and disease.
Organotypic culture
Organotypic culture is a cell culture method that grows cells or tissue in three dimensions, preserving the architecture and cell-type diversity of the original tissue.
Organotypic slice culture
Organotypic slice culture is a bench biology technique that keeps thin tissue slices, most often brain, alive for weeks to months while preserving their 3D architecture and synaptic connections.
Patient-derived organoid
A patient-derived organoid (PDO) is a 3D microtissue cultured from a patient's own tissue that reproduces the source tissue's architecture and genetics, enabling drug screening and precision oncology.
