While most of the in vivo extracellular matrices are 3D, most of the in vitro cultures are 2D--where only ventral adhesion is permitted--thus modifying cell behavior as a way to self-adaptation to this unnatural environment. ...

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 2 ...
