Spheroids and organoids are two words that, like “butter” and “margarine”, are often referred to interchangeably but have distinct meanings. The progression and adoption of three-dimensional (3D) cell culture models, such as spheroids and organoids, from traditional two-dimensional (2D) cell culture has helped researchers to better understand complex...
