Cancer Cell Culture: the process by which cancer or tumor cells are grown under controlled conditions, generally outside their natural environment. After the cancer cells of interest have been isolated from living tissue, they can subsequently be maintained under carefully controlled conditions. Scientists and doctors use this technique to test the effectiveness of treatment on cancer cells.

In-vitro epithelial barrier models that are more representative of in-vivo tissues are urgently needed. Here we present extracellular matrix-supported intestinal tubules in a perfused microfl...
Cellular research is optimal when using physiologically-relevant cell phenotypes and genotypes of human origin. This assertion has accelerated the adoption of primary cells, stem cells, and i...
Isolated hepatocytes or their enzymes comprise the basis of most in vitro DMPK and toxicity assays used to predict human hepatic outcomes. Because hepato-specific functions are typically lost...
