Which aspect of human tissues do 3D cell cultures closely recapitulate?
All of the above
What is the primary challenge in drug discovery that 3D cell models address?
Assay development
What advantage do 3D cell cultures offer over 2D cell cultures?
Higher complexity
How do 3D cellular assays add value to research and screening campaigns?
By recapitulating in vivo environments
Match the following aspects to their descriptions in the context of 3D cell cultures:
Cell organization = Closely recapitulated in 3D cell cultures Physiologically-relevant diffusion characteristics = Closely recapitulated in 3D cell cultures Compound screening = Primary challenge in drug discovery In vivo environments = Better mimicked by higher complexity cell models
Match the following terms to their definitions in the context of 3D cell models:
3D cell cultures = Offer advantage of closely recapitulating aspects of human tissues Whole-animal models = Translational gap that 3D cellular assays bridge Predictive cell-based assays = Developed using 3D cell models 2D cell cultures = Less biologically relevant compared to 3D cell cultures
Match the following types of cell models to their descriptions:
2D cell cultures = Less complex and biologically relevant 3D cell cultures = Better mimic in vivo environments and responses to drug treatment Whole-animal models = Not as commonly used as 3D cell cultures in drug discovery Higher complexity cell models = Gaining popularity in drug discovery
Match the following terms to their usage in the context of 3D cell models:
Cellular Imaging and Analysis = Used for 3D Cell Culture Applications Translational biology = Driven by the integration of 3D assay models Drug discovery = Primary challenge addressed by the development of more complex cell models Research and screening campaigns = Value added by utilization of 3D cellular assays
Match the following advantages to their corresponding cell culture types:
Closely recapitulating aspects of human tissues = 3D cell cultures Ease of use and low cost = 2D cell cultures Better mimic in vivo environments and responses to drug treatment = Higher complexity cell models Spanning the translational gap between 2D cell cultures and whole-animal models = 3D cellular assays
