The expression profiles of proliferation-, stemness-,and dormancy-associated cancer markers, namely, ki67, lamin A/C, SOX2,Oct3/4, stanniocalcin 1 (STC1), and stanniocalcin 2 (STC2), were evaluatedin the 3D cultured cells and compared to the respective profiles ofthe cells cultured in the conventional 2D TCP. The gene discussed is STC2; the disease is cancer.
