Morphofunctional analysis of human pancreatic cancer cell lines in 2- and 3-dimensional cultures
Abstract Genetic, transcriptional, and morphological differences have been reported in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) cases. We recently found that epithelial or mesenchymal features were enhanced in three-dimensional (3D) cultures compared to two-dimensional (2D) cultures. In this study, w...
