New York, Dec. 11, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Reportlinker.com announces the release of the report "3D Cell Culture Market by Scaffold Format, Products, Application Areas, Purpose, and Key Geographical Regions : Industry Trends and Global Forecasts, 2020-2030" - https://www.reportlinker.com/p05995354/?utm_source=GNW However, over time, it has been demonstrated that such cultures are unable to accurately mimic the natural (in vivo) microenvironment. Moreover, cells cultured in monolayers are both morphologically and physiochemically different from their in vivo counterparts. This leads to differences in viability, growth rate, and function. Additionally, in adherent 2D culture systems, only 50% of the cell surface is exposed to the culture medium, which limits cell-to-cell and cell-to-medium interactions. In fact, a study reported that 95% of drugs that exhibited efficacy in 2D culture models failed in in vivo studies / human trials.

Advances in biotechnology and materials science have enabled the development of a variety of 3-dimensional (3D) cell culture models. These systems have been demonstrated to be capable of more accurately simulating the natural tissue microenvironment and, thereby, can help overcome most of the challenges associated with 2D systems. In addition, there are certain complex 3D cell culture models that are likely to soon replace animal models. In other words, 3D cell cultures are able to better simulate the natural tissue microenvironments, thereby, serving as better in vivo models for use in experimental research, including drug discovery / toxicity testing, development of regenerative medicine, tissue engineering, and stem cell research. This is anticipated to drive the adoption of such solutions in the foreseen future. Moreover, in a recent study, perfused 3D culture systems were used to emulate human bronchial tissue and airway cells, in order to study infectious respiratory diseases. Further, 3D cell cultures and organoid-based screening systems are being developed to facilitate the study of the pathogenesis of the novel coronavirus and support ongoing drug development efforts on this front. Based on the current trend of use, we are led to believe that the COVID-19 pandemic is likely to result in an increased demand for such solutions, presenting lucrative opportunities for companies engaged in this domain. In this context, the overall 3D cell culture market is anticipated to witness substantial growth in the coming years.
