It is difficult to reproduce physiological conditions in a simple Petri dish. Reproducing culture conditions of intestinal cells requires a complex three-dimensional environment. To be able to study their growth, researchers from LAAS-CNRS and Arnaud Besson's team from LBCMCP are printing high-resolution 3D culture scaffolds. Published in the journal Biomaterials, this work shows that cells grown on these 3D culture models behave in a similar way to intestinal cells.
