The past few years have seen a boom in the number of papers published covering 3D cell culture, as researchers working in areas from cancer research to stem cells are increasingly seeing the benefits of this technique. This is due, in part, to the number of new tools designed to help researchers achieve better results. Bioscience Technology, along with 3D Biomatrix and AMSBIO, invite you to join us for a Webinar to discuss the latest advances.
Meghan Cuddihy, PhD, from 3D Biomatrix will discuss the use of matrix- free spheroid cultures, primarily in the context of cancer research and drug discovery. Specific detail will be given to 3D Biomatrix's Perfecta3D TM Hanging Drop Plates, which are versatile, matrix-free 3D well-plates designed to simplify and streamline spheroid formation, culture, and subsequent testing of the 3D cell cultures. The different applications and cell types for the Perfecta3D Hanging Drop Plates will be discussed, as will co-culture data and preliminary data on anti-cancer drug testing.
For applications where hanging drop are not applicable and to fulfill the increased demand for 3D cell cultures, AMSBIO supplies the most advanced and extensive range of 3D tools to the life science community. Erik Miljan, PhD, from Simply Cells Ltd assesses the impact on the physiological relevance of in vitro cell based models using traditional ECM proteins, recombinant Biomimetics hydrogels and other matrices like polystyrene scaffolds in drug discovery and disease modeling applications. Highlighting real examples including spheroid and neuronal stem cell culture, Dr. Miljan will demonstrate how the different 3D technologies that AMSBIO provides can help researchers to successfully perform the 3D applications they need.
