There are many advantages associated with culturing cells in three-dimensional (3D) versus conventional two-dimensional (2D) tissue culture.

Scaffold-free 3D culture systems that generate spheroids (and other similar multicellular aggregations) have proved useful as they offer an easy route to access 3D culture and...
