Abstract
Three-dimensional (3D) culture systems, which include spheroids (SPs), provide a unique platform for studying complex biological processes in vivo and for enhancing the capabilities of in vitro test systems. Their uniqueness lies in the 3D organization of cells and in the reproduction of complex intercellular interactions, similar to those in native tissues and organs. These mini-organs can be used for fundamental research, tissue-engineering constructs, development of preclinical models for testing pharmacological drugs, etc. Important and current issues regarding SPs involve improving methods for their production and cryopreservation. Solving these issues will expand the range and effectiveness of their use in tissue engineering. Here, we describe the authors' research and experience on factors influencing the formation of SPs, which can enhance the understanding of their correct application and standardization. A crucial aspect of this review is the information on applying theoretical approaches based on physico-mathematical calculations to improve the quality of existing cryopreservation protocols for SPs. https://doi.org/10.54680/fr25110110112.
期刊介绍:
A bimonthly international journal for low temperature sciences, including cryobiology, cryopreservation or vitrification of cells and tissues, chemical and physical aspects of freezing and drying, and studies involving ecology of cold environments, and cold adaptation
The journal publishes original research reports, authoritative reviews, technical developments and commissioned book reviews of studies of the effects produced by low temperatures on a wide variety of scientific and technical processes, or those involving low temperature techniques in the investigation of physical, chemical, biological and ecological problems.
