Unilocular fat cells in three-dimensional collagen gel matrix culture.

Three-dimensional culture with collagen gel, developed recently for the in vitro study of some mammalian cells in a more physiological condition than a monolayer culture, was applied for a biological study of unilocular fat cells. Successfully embedded in the gel, the unilocular fat cells were shown...
