2.5D cell culture models for more predictive in vitro research
2.5D cell culture is an emerging approach for creating more physiologically relevant in vitro models, overcoming key limitations of conventional 2D systems. Using microporous membrane inserts restores apical-basolateral polarity, supports barrier formation, and enables air-liquid interface (ALI) culture—critical for differentiated epithelial models with improved predictive value for ADME/Tox, drug transport, and disease research.
2.5D culture bridges simple monolayers and complex 3D systems. It allows organoid-derived cells to be grown on permeable membranes, combining biological relevance with accessibility for TEER measurement, permeability, migration, and wound healing assays. Tools such as Millicell® inserts and plates support applications from GI barrier and drug absorption studies to skin and respiratory models, enabling more predictive epithelial and tissue-representative systems.
