SV40 large T-antigen-transfected bovine pulp-derived cells were grown three-dimensionally on polyamide meshes. For optimal cell growth, various cell numbers and mesh coatings were tested. Next the three-dimensional cultures were used in a dentin barrier test device, and the system was evaluated by testing a set of dental filling materials. After 24 hr exposure with or without perfusion of the pulpal part of the test device, cell survival was evaluated using an MTT assay. In all experiments pulp-derived cells transfected with SV40 large T-antigen grew three-dimensionally on polyamide meshes and showed growth kinetics similar to those on cell culture plates with lag, log, and plateau phases (reached after about 14 days of incubation). Cross-sections of the three-dimensional cell cultures revealed about 15 to 20 cell layers. In vitro cytotoxicity tests resulted in cell survival rates which are in good agreement with in vivo data and with results obtained from cytotoxicity tests with three-dimensional cultures of human foreskin fibroblasts.

Combining 3D cultures such as tumor spheroids and organoids with spatial omics holds great potential for tissue biology and cancer research. Yet, this potential is presently limited by technical and financial challenges of spatial omics methods and 3D cultures. To address this, we combine dye diffusion, the Smart-seq3xpress protocol for deep single-cell gene expression profiling, and dedicated probabilistic inference methods into diffusion Smart-seq3 (Smart-seq3D), to reveal the transcriptome of single cells along with their position along the core-periphery axis of spheroids.

Cultured meat aims to produce meat mass by culturing cells and tissues based on the muscle regeneration mechanism, and is considered an alternative to raising and slaughtering livestock. Hydrogel building blocks are commonly used as substrates for cell culture in tissue engineering and cultured meat because of their high water content, biocompatibility, and similar three-dimensional (3D) environment to the cellular niche . With the characteristics of precise manipulation of fluids, microfluidics exhibits advantages in the fabrication of building blocks with different structures and components, which have been widely applied in tissue regeneration.

Unlabelled: Engineered three-dimensional (3D) tissue culture platforms are useful for reproducing and elucidating complex in vivo biological phenomena. Spheroids, 3D aggregates of living cells, are produced based on physicochemical or microfabrication technologies and are commonly used even in cancer pathology research. However, conventional methods have difficulties in constructing 3D structures depending on the cell types, and require specialized techniques/lab know-how to reproducibly control the spheroid size and shape.

The design of photobioreactors for microalgae cultivation aims to achieve an architecture that allows the most efficient photosynthetic growth. The availability of light at wavelengths that are important for photosynthesis is therefore particularly crucial for reactor design. While testing different reactor types in practice is expensive, simulations could effectively limit the range of material and reactor design options.

Odontogenic keratocyst (OKC) and ameloblastoma (AM) are common jaw lesions with high bone-destructive potential and recurrence rates. Recent advancements in technology led to significant progress in understanding these conditions. Single-cell and spatial omics have improved insights into the tumor microenvironment and cellular heterogeneity in OKC and AM.
