3D Cell Culture

3D cell culture is a technology that cultivates cells in a three-dimensional structure to simulate the environment closer to the body. Compared with traditional 2D culture, 3D culture provides more realistic cell interactions, tissue structure and cell function. This culture method is widely used in biomedical research, drug screening, and tissue engineering. By creating three-dimensional structures that more closely resemble the environment within an organism, 3D cell culture helps more accurately simulate biological processes such as disease development, drug response, and tissue reconstruction.

  • Cerebral organoid culture is a cutting-edge in vitro modeling technique that utilizes human pluripotent stem cells-including both embryonic stem cells and induced pluripotent stem cells—to simulate the microenvironment and differentiation programs of human embryonic brain development within a three-dimensional in vitro culture system. Through directed differentiation, it generates structures characteristic of specific brain regions and comprises various functional neuronal cell types. This technology serves as a sophisticated model capable of recapitulating the processes of human brain development and the pathological features of neurological diseases, thereby finding application in mechanistic research, drug screening, and precision medicine.
