Researchers report on a novel, 3-D screening method for analyzing interactions between cells and new biomaterials could cut initial analysis times by more than half. The technique, an advance over flat, two-dimensional screening methods, enables rapid assessment of the biocompatibility and other properties of materials designed for repairing -- or even rebuilding -- damaged tissues and organs.
