Scaffold Free 3D Cell Culture
3D cell culture is an artificially-created environment in which biological cells are permitted to grow or interact with their surroundings in all three dimensions. Unlike 2D environments, a 3D cell culture allows cells in vitro to grow in all directions, similar to how they would in vivo.] These three-dimensional cultures are usually grown in bioreactors, small capsules in which the cells can grow into spheroids, or 3D cell colonies.

Scaffold-free 3D cell culture offer many advantages over other 3D cell culture technologies, foremost of which is the completely native nature of cell-cell interactions driving assembly of the microtissue. The absence of scaffold material also facilitates a greater number of downstream assays and imaging options.
