Gimble AU - Trivia Frazier AU - Cecilia Sanchez AB - Advancements in three-dimensional in vitro cultures pose a need for modification of established two-dimensional culture functional assay methods. Application of three-dimensional in vitro models in drug screening and target validation, specifically in the development of compounds targeting adipose metabolic activity, requires optimization of current glucose uptake and lipolysis assay protocols to effectively measure adipocyte function in a three-dimensional platform. This chapter describes the establishment of three-dimensional cultures using Obatala Sciences' human-derived hydrogel, maintenance and treatment of the cultures, and evaluation of compound response via lipolysis and glucose uptake assays.
