Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue of Pharmaceuticals will address recent advances in 2D and 3D in vitro cultures, exploring current trends and innovative biomedical applications. We are seeking submissions that discuss the latest techniques and highlight the implications of these advances in biomedical research, including disease modeling (e.g., cancer), drug testing and screening, tissue morphology and engineering, and regenerative therapies. Emerging technologies driving the evolution of these culture systems, promoting a deeper understanding of cellular processes and opening new possibilities for clinical applications will also be explored. In summary, the issue provides a holistic and updated view of 2D and 3D in vitro cultures, consolidating essential information for researchers and professionals involved in biomedicine.
Interested researchers are invited to submit an original research paper and review articles for publication in this Special Issue. Articles employing 3D cell cultures and those comparing results between 2D and 3D models are of particular interest. Studies concerning spheroids obtained through ex vivo propagation from individual patients (organoids) are also encouraged.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Pharmaceuticals is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2900 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
