Various in vitro cell culture assays have been used for decades to evaluate disease pathology and uncover potential therapeutic treatments. Despite many successes with these models, they have critical shortcomings. Growing evidence suggests that models providing more predictive and translational observations are desperately needed.
Researchers are now moving from reductionist, 2D monoculture assay models to more complex 3D cell models, such as organoids and induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) cultures, in order to better evaluate the dynamic interactions between cells in an environment more closely emulating that of the in vivo milieu, and to assess patient-specific phenotypic effects following drug treatment.
Effective, well-characterized, advanced cell models hold promise for improving our understanding of disease pathology and progression, and are critical for the identification of novel therapeutic targets.
