Overview

Monolayer cultures are an important research tool in which a single layer of living cells are grown on a laboratory surface such as a plastic dish or flask. These cell layers can be used to study interactions between cells and/or their responses to drugs and other external stimuli. Monolayer cultures are commonly used in biotechnology, cancer research, and drug discovery research, among others. Monolayers have proven to be vital for understanding a broad range of biological systems, including cell cycle regulation, differentiation, and disease-related events. Monolayer cultures provide an efficient way to study a wide variety of cells and are one of the most important research tools used in biomedicine today.
