However, from an anatomical and physiological point of view, cancer cells cultured in 3D are characterized by several factors differentiating them from monolayer cultures and paralleling much more closely those of in vivo tumors. In particular, early events of tumor growth before effective vascularisation appear to be closely reproduced in those 3D culture systems. Usually, 3D cultures of tumor cells develop hollow cores that resemble the necrotic areas of in vivo cancers: areas that are usually observed at a distance from nutrient and oxygen supplies. Importantly, the proliferation of tumor cells cultured in 3D is typically slower and hence more physiological than that of monolayer cultures.\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EThe Institute for Bioengineering and Bioscience welcomes Dr. Dietmar Hutmacher, professor of mechanical engineering at Queensland University of Technology, on \u0022Biomaterials Offer Cancer Research the Third Dimension.\u0022\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Topic: \u0022Biomaterials Offer Cancer Research the Third Dimension\u0022"}],"uid":"27299","created_gmt":"2010-03-16 13:53:57","changed_gmt":"2016-10-08 01:49:28","author":"Michael Hagearty","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2010-03-23T12:00:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2010-03-23T13:00:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2010-03-23T13:00:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2010-03-23 16:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2010-03-23 17:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2010-03-23 17:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"related_links":[{"url":"http:\/\/www.ibb.gatech.edu\/","title":"Petit Institute for Bioengineering and Bioscience"},{"url":"http:\/\/www.bee.qut.edu.au\/about\/schools\/engineering\/staff\/medical\/hutmacherd.jsp","title":"Dr. Dietmar Hutmacher"}],"groups":[{"id":"1182","name":"General"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"8103","name":"3-D"},{"id":"3024","name":"biomaterials"},{"id":"248","name":"IBB"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1795","name":"Seminar\/Lecture\/Colloquium"}],"invited_audience":[],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ca style=\u0022color: #001c3a;\u0022 href=\u0022mailto:colly.mitchell@ibb.gatech.edu\u0022\u003EColly O\u0027Brien Mitchell\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/a\u003EParker H.
