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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

There is increasing evidence that 3D cell culture models are more physiologically relevant than traditional 2D cell cultures, particularly in the context of in vitro tumor modeling. Spheroid cultures, ...

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 ...

A serial cultivation system of hepatocytes was established for the first time using calf liver as a cell source and, repeating passage of more than 30 cumulative population doublings (PDs), was ...

Confocal image of a spheroid (roughly 300 µm in diameter) grown on a grid plate. The spheroid is formed from a co-culture of human adipose-derived stem cells and chondrocytes. (Courtesy: Sylvia ...

Astronomers have used the ESO's Very Large Telescope (VLT) in conjunction with the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope to reveal how star formation shut down in distant galaxies just three billion years ...

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 ...

(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 ...
