These systems can induce specific cell reactions, promote specific tissue functions, and serve as valuable tools for research in tissue engineering, regenerative medicine, and drug discovery. This paper discusses current developments in the field of three-dimensional cell culture and the potential applications of 3D type 1 collagen gels to enhance the growth and maturation of dendritic cells.</abstract><keywords/></article-meta></front><body/><back><ref-list><ref id="B1" content-type="article"><label>1</label><element-citation publication-type="journal"><p>Edmondson R, Broglie JJ, Adcock AF, et al., 2014, Three-Dimensional Cell Culture Systems and Their Applications in Drug Discovery and Cell-Based Biosensors.
