spheroid

Although tested in monkeys, it is worth noting that the cardiac spheroid production protocol used in this study was designed for clinical application in humans.

"Under the microscope, you can see very clearly: neighboring spheroids grow together, the cells migrate from one spheroid to the other and vice versa, they connect seamlessly and result in a closed structure without any cavities -- in contrast to other methods that have been used so far, in which visible interfaces remain between neighboring cell clumps."

But because the earth is an oblate spheroid, the sea level at the Equator is some 14 miles farther from the center of the earth than the sea level at the North Pole.

Still, the spheroid model “is a reductionist approach,” she cautions; the human body, which has a varied arsenal of immune cells and a diverse and largely beneficial microbiome, may have other mechanisms that keep cancers from metastasizing.

The ashtray part is a nearly 4-pound square of pleasingly smooth, white concrete with a spheroid indentation in the center and a notch in two opposite corners.
