Scientists at the University of Twente's MESA+ and MIRA research institutes in the Netherlands have built micropyramids for 3D observation of cells. The scientists used 3D micro and nanofabrication technology to create the pyramids. The sides of the pyramids are open, which allows cells to continue to interact with other cells while still being contained in the micropyramids.
