"Researchers currently rely on animal models and two dimensional (2-D) cultures of human cells to study cancer and test potential drugs. Yet these models have two major problems: Human cells behave differently in a 2-D environment than their natural 3-D state, and animal physiology isn't the same as humans." (RESEARCH HORIZONS) This article describes the use of 3-D modeling in the study of prostate cancer.
