Ying Xie, MSc, Corning Field Application Scientist

Three-dimensional (3D) cell culture environments provide structural and biochemical cues for cellular differentiation and functionality. For specialized cell types, such as primary cells and stem cells, a two-dimensional (2D) growth substrate may not be sufficient to support complex cellular behaviors, such as cell polarity, morphology, maintenance of stemness, spheroid formation, signal transduction, and tissue-specific gene expression. This seminar will highlight environmental factors which impact 3D systems, such as growth substrates, surfaces, and media options, as well as applications that rely on the use of 3D growth and specialized culture systems (i.e., permeable supports).The biological and functional properties of a variety of cell types will be discussed to demonstrate the effectiveness of these environments.

This seminar is open to the greater Gladstone community.
