Multicellular Human Gastric Cancer Spheroids Mimic the Glycosylation Phenotype of Gastric Carcinomas

3-dimensional (3D) systems mimic better the in vivo features of the tumor, however, the in vitro studies of cancer have been traditionally performed using 2D methods. In this study, published in the journal Molecules, a high-throughput 3D methodology has been established for four different gastric cancer cell lines. These cancer models have been fully characterised, focusing on the glycosylation profile, since it is known that changes in glycosylation are key players in cancer development and progression.
