Efficacy of cell reprogramming using 3D spheroid model

18 Apr 2024

Cancer ranks as the second leading cause of death globally, with immunotherapy offering promise but facing limitations in clinical success. Recent studies reveal that overexpression of PU.1, IRF8, and BATF3 transcription factors induces the transformation of tumor cells into antigen-presenting dendritic cells, potentially enhancing anticancer immunity. However, existing testing platforms struggle to replicate the intricate cell interactions necessary to validate this approach. InSphero presents the 3D InSight™ Oncology Platform as a tool to assess the efficacy and immune-stimulatory effects of tumor-dendritic cell reprogramming.

MicroplatesMicroplates are multi-well plates used to increase the throughput of biological investigations. The number of wells microplates contain can range from 6 to 3243 wells, with the 96-well format being the most commonly used. Microplates can come tailored for a range of applications including cell culture, PCR, filtration, storage, non-binding surface, protein crystallization, as well as pre-coated, deep well and normal Standard microplates. Additionally, options for microplate colors include clear , black, white or black with clear bottom and white with clear bottom for absorbance microplate reader applications.
