New 3D models for B-cell lymphomas better mimic patient tumors. These advanced systems are crucial for precision medicine and reducing animal testing in lymphoma research.
Area of Science:
- Oncology
- Biotechnology
- Cell Biology
Background:
- B-cell lymphomas grow in aggregates, interacting with their microenvironment.
- Traditional 2D culture systems do not fully replicate lymphoma biology.
- Advancements focus on 3D models to better mimic in vivo conditions.
Purpose of the Study:
- To review current 3D non-Hodgkin lymphoma models.
- To outline features, strengths, and limitations of existing models.
- To identify gaps for developing improved patient-derived 3D systems.
Main Methods:
- Compilation of existing 3D lymphoma cell line and patient-derived models.
- Analysis of incorporated physical and cellular microenvironmental components.
- Evaluation of model features, strengths, and limitations.
Main Results:
- Significant progress in 3D lymphoma models since 2012.
- Incorporation of key microenvironmental factors in newer models.
- Emergence of patient-derived 3D models for precision medicine.
Conclusions:
- 3D lymphoma models are essential tools for precision medicine.
- Further development is needed for robust, multiplexed patient-derived systems.
- These models can serve as avatars in clinical trials and support the 3Rs in research.

The spleen is a vital organ in the lymphatic system, nestled in the upper left side of the abdomen. It is composed of two primary regions: the red pulp and the white pulp, each having distinct functions. The red pulp performs a significant role in blood filtration. It efficiently purges the blood of old or damaged red blood cells and...
