Quantification of dynamic morphological drug responses in 3D organotypic cell cultures by automated image analysis.

Glandular epithelial cells differentiate into complex multicellular or acinar structures, when embedded in three-dimensional (3D) extracellular matrix. The spectrum of different multicellular morphologies formed in 3D is a sensitive indicator for the differentiation potential of normal, non-transfor...
