Cell Biology & Advanced Models

Unlocking Cellular Mechanisms and Innovative Disease Models

Cell biology explores the structure, function, and behavior of cells, the fundamental units of life. From cell culture and stem cell research to 3D organoids and live cell imaging, these technologies enable insights into cellular functions, drug discovery, and therapeutic development, driving progress in biomedical research and precision medicine.
What is cell culture, and why is it important?
Cell culture involves growing cells in a controlled environment to study their behavior, functions, and responses. It is widely used for drug testing, disease modeling, and understanding fundamental biology.
What are organoids, and how are they used in research?
Organoids are 3D cell structures that mimic the function and architecture of real organs. They are used to model diseases, test drugs, and study organ development in a lab setting.
How does live-cell imaging advance cell biology research?
Live-cell imaging allows scientists to observe cellular processes, such as division and movement, in real time. It provides dynamic insights into cell behavior and responses to treatments.
What are cellular function assays, and what do they measure?
Cellular function assays evaluate processes like cell growth, apoptosis (cell death), and signaling. These assays are essential for understanding cell health, behavior, and drug effects.
Why are 3D cell culture models better than 2D models?
3D cell culture models replicate the natural tissue environment more accurately than traditional 2D models. They improve the study of disease progression, drug responses, and tissue development.
