caption_attribution_description: English: This shows typical colonies formed by Madin-Darby Canine Kidney cells when cultured in typical 2D format on plastic. Cells grow as tight colonies thanks to their cell-cell junctions, a hallmark of cells of epithelial origin.
context_page_description: Madin-Darby Canine Kidney cells are a model mammalian cell line used in biomedical research. MDCK cells are used for a wide variety of cell biology studies including cell polarity, cell-cell adhesions, collective cell motility, as well as responses to growth factors. It is one of few cell culture models that is suited for 3D cell culture and multicellular rearrangements known as branching morphogenesis.
