Abstract

The 3D culture is advantageous in reflecting the in vivo condition compared to the 2D culture; however, imaging 3D-cultured cells may be a challenge due to technical restrictions. Recent development of confocal spinning disc microscope system as well as sophisticated software has enabled us to monitor dynamism of cell movement in multiple dimensions. Here we describe the method for time-lapse imaging of 3D-cultured cancer cells co-cultured with non-cancerous cells and discuss current limitations and future perspectives.
