Modelling of diffusion in cultured epithelial cell spheroids

![CDATA[Cultured epithelial cell spheroids demonstrate many of the physiological properties of glandular epithelia and provide an ideal experimental model for investigation of the distinctive structural properties that may contribute to the reported low water mobility in prostate, breast, and gut epithelia. The structural connections are very similar to those in intact tissue and thus they provide a more realistic model of tissue than previously investigated models based on pelleted yeast or erythrocyte cells. We report an investigation of the correlation between known cell sizes in a spheroid culture and restriction radius estimated by a model of diffusion MRI signals.]]
