Frequently Asked Questions
Why use tumor spheroids for cancer research?
Tumor spheroids develop oxygen and nutrient gradients similar to solid tumors, including a hypoxic core. This allows researchers to evaluate how well therapeutic agents penetrate into the tumor and perform under realistic conditions that cannot be replicated in flat cell cultures.
