The majority of cells in living tissue grow in a three-dimensional (3D) microenvironment, where they communicate and interact with each other and their surroundings. In a 3D in vitro setup, the cells are either grown in suspension on a non-adhesive surface or embedded in or on a 3D matrix (e.g., Collagen I), which mimics the ECM and allows them to grow in all three directions.
In 2 hours, you will learn about the general benefits of performing in vitro experiments in 3D, plus get an in-depth introduction to the solutions provided by ibidi.
After the course, you will be equipped with advanced knowledge and a better understanding of the necessary tools needed to perform your own 3D cell culture experiments.
*No sterile working benches or cells are required to participate. Attend the course from the comfort of your office or home.
