Yet in conventional two-dimensional (2D) cell cultures, cells are grown on flat and rigid substrates that often fail to capture the natural 3D environments present in tissue. Learn more about how 3D cell culture has allowed researchers to overcome the limitations of 2D models.

Already five of the ten top-selling pharmaceuticals in the United States are antibody products. But antibodies are large, complex proteins that can be expensive to manufacture. Read More Lab Health and Safety Lab Air Quality Commissioning Prevents Issues Indoor air quality commissioning to prevent issues after new construction or renovations Indoor air quality, now more accurately referred to as indoor environmental quality, has risen to the top of the list of worker complaints in the past decade. This is not surprising given that the U.S. Green Building Council and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency now estimate that Americans spend an average of 90 percent of their time indoors.
