Title | Advanced Functional Characterization of iPSC-Derived 2D and 3D In Vitro Models at the Frontiers of Molecular Bioscience
Abstract | Two-dimensional (2D) or three-dimensional (3D) cell cultures are currently widely used in stem cell research. They aim to be as close to in vivo conditions to varying degrees, and, when derived from human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), provide a valuable alternative to animal models. Cell shape, differentiation, and proliferation, drug sensitivity and response to stimuli are among the characteristics guiding researchers to prefer one method to the other based on the scientific question and application. Considering that both 2D and 3D in vitro cellular models can serve as equally valuable tools to overcome the current barriers in stem cell research and further advance the field, we invited three speakers to spotlight on novel applications and methods to functionally characterize iPSC-derived cellular models. Scientific presentations will be followed by Q+A session and panel discussion to shine the light on current opinions about this controversial and highly relevant topic.
