Conclusion
副本
Well-differentiated SBNET cells are slow growing and hard to propagate. The few established cell lines are not readily available to researchers. To overcome these limitations, we developed this 3D culture protocol.

Neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) originate from neuroendocrine cells of the neural crest. They are slow growing and challenging to culture. We present an alternative strategy to grow NETs from the small bowel by culturing them as spheroids. These spheroids have small bowel NET markers and can be used for drug testing.
