A Novel Computer-Assisted Approach to evaluate Multicellular Tumor Spheroid Invasion Assay
Multicellular tumor spheroids (MCTSs) embedded in a matrix are re-emerging as a powerful alternative to monolayer-based cultures. The primary information gained from a three-dimensional model is the invasiveness of treatment-exposed MCTSs through the acquisition of light microscopy images. The amount and complexity of the acquired data and the bias arisen by their manual analysis are disadvanta...
متن کاملLive Multicellular Tumor Spheroid Models For High-Content Imaging and Screening In Cancer Drug Discovery
The multi cellular tumor spheroid (MCTS) model has been used for decades with proven superiority over monolayer cell culture models at recapitulating in vivo tumor growth. Yet its use in high-throughput drug discovery has been limited, particularly with image based screening, due to practical and technical hurdles. Here we report a significant advance in utilizing live MCTS models for high-cont...
متن کاملAgent-Based Simulations of In Vitro Multicellular Tumor Spheroid Growth
Multicellular tumor spheroids (MTS) are an in vitro model system of avascular tumors. They are used to study how local microenvironments affect cellular growth, viability, and therapeutic response. We are developing in silico, agent-based analogues to provide new options for gaining exploitable insight into both the in vitro and in vivo systems. MTS exhibit characteristic phenotypic attributes:...
متن کاملThree-Dimensional (3D) Tumor Spheroid Invasion Assay
Invasion of surrounding normal tissues is generally considered to be a key hallmark of malignant (as opposed to benign) tumors. For some cancers in particular (e.g., brain tumors such as glioblastoma multiforme and squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck - SCCHN) it is a cause of severe morbidity and can be life-threatening even in the absence of distant metastases. In addition, cancers wh...
متن کاملEmulsion technologies for multicellular tumour spheroid radiation assays.
A major limitation with current in vitro technologies for testing anti-cancer therapies at the pre-clinical level is the use of 2D cell culture models which provide a poor reflection of the tumour physiology in vivo. Three dimensional cell culture models, such as the multicellular spheroid, provide instead a more accurate representation. However, existing spheroid-based assessment methods are g...
