Sandwich-like systems to engineer the cellular microenvironment

Abstract While most of the in vitro cultures are carried out on bi-dimensional (2D) substrates, most of the in vivo extracellular matrices are threedimensional (3D). Consequently cells behave differently on 2D substrates as a way to self-adaptation to a non-physiological environment....
