Another critical question is how 3D cultures improve risk assessment. By providing data that is more representative of how cells behave in the human body, 3D cultures can lead to more accurate predictions of a toxicant's effects. This is particularly valuable in the context of regulatory toxicology, where accurate risk assessment is crucial for public health decisions. For example, 3D cultures can be used to study the chronic toxicity of chemicals, which is often challenging to assess using traditional methods.
