Why are 2D Monolayer Cultures Important in Cancer Research?
2D monolayer cultures have been fundamental in cancer research due to their simplicity and cost-effectiveness. They allow for easy observation, manipulation, and analysis of cancer cells. Researchers can quickly assess the effects of various treatments on cancer cell proliferation, apoptosis, and gene expression. These cultures provide a controlled environment to study the basic biology of cancer cells and screen potential anti-cancer drugs.
