Abstract: Significance: Accurate cell segmentation and classification in 3 dimensional (3D) images are vital for studying live cell behavior and drug responses in 3D tissue culture. Evaluating diverse cell populations in 3D cell culture over time necessitates non-toxic staining methods, as specific fluorescence tags may not be suitable and immunofluorescence ...
