Abstract
Founded in 1919, the Society of Biology of Strasbourg (SBS) is a learned society whose purpose is the dissemination and promotion of scientific knowledge in biology. Subsidiary of the Society of Biology, the SBS celebrated its Centenary on Wednesday, the 16th of October 2019 on the Strasbourg University campus and at the Strasbourg City Hall. This day allowed retracing the various milestones of the SBS, through its main strengths, its difficulties and its permanent goal to meet scientific and societal challenges. The common thread of this day was the transmission of knowledge related to the past, the present, but also the future. At the start of the 21st century, the SBS must continue to reinvent itself to pursue its objective of transmitting scientific knowledge in biology and beyond. Scientific talks performed by senior scientists and former SBS thesis prizes awardees, a round table, and informal discussions reflected the history and the dynamism of the SBS association. All SBS Centennial participants have set the first milestone for the SBS Bicentennial.

Abstract
Widespread tumor cell invasion is a fundamental property of diffuse gliomas and is ultimately responsible for their poor prognosis. A greater understanding of basic mechanisms underlying glioma invasion is needed to provide insights into therapies that could potentially counteract them. While none of the currently available in vitro models can fully recapitulate the complex interactions of glioma cells within the brain tumor microenvironment, if chosen and developed appropriately, these models can provide controlled experimental settings to study molecular and cellular phenomena that are challenging or impossible to model in vivo. Therefore, selecting the most appropriate in vitro model, together with its inherent advantages and limitations, for specific hypotheses and experimental questions achieves primary significance. In this review, we describe and discuss commonly used methods for modeling and studying glioma invasion in vitro, including platforms, matrices, cell culture, and visualization techniques, so that choices for experimental approach are informed and optimal.

Abstract
Dynamic Cell III, a meeting jointly organized by the British Society of Cell Biology (BSCB) and the Biochemical Society, took place at the Manchester Conference Centre, Manchester, UK in March 2018. It brought together a diverse group of scientists from around the world, all with a shared interest in understanding how dynamic functions of the cell are fulfilled. A particular focus was the regulation of the cytoskeleton: in cell division, cell migration and cell-cell interactions. Moreover, a key theme that ran through all presented work was the development of new and exciting technologies to study dynamic cell behaviour.

Abstract
Three-dimensional multicellular tumor models are receiving an ever-growing focus as preclinical drug-screening platforms due to their potential to recapitulate major physiological features of human tumors in vitro. In line with this momentum, the technologies for assembly of 3D microtumors are rapidly evolving towards a comprehensive inclusion of tumor microenvironment elements. Customized spherically structured platforms, including microparticles and microcapsules, provide a robust and scalable technology to imprint unique biomolecular tumor microenvironment hallmarks into 3D in vitro models. Herein, a comprehensive overview of novel advances on the integration of tumor-ECM components and biomechanical cues into 3D in vitro models assembled in spherical shaped platforms is provided. Future improvements regarding spatiotemporal/mechanical adaptability, and degradability, during microtumors in vitro 3D culture are also critically discussed considering the realistic potential of these platforms to mimic the dynamic tumor microenvironment. From a global perspective, the production of 3D multicellular spheroids with tumor ECM components included in spherical models will unlock their potential to be used in high-throughput screening of therapeutic compounds. It is envisioned, in a near future, that a combination of spherically structured 3D microtumor models with other advanced microfluidic technologies will properly recapitulate the flow dynamics of human tumors in vitro. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE The ability to correctly mimic the complexity of the tumor microenvironment in vitro is a key aspect for the development of evermore realistic in vitro models for drug-screening and fundamental cancer biology studies. In this regard, conventional spheroid-based 3D tumor models, combined with spherically structured biomaterials, opens the opportunity to precisely recapitulate complex cell-extracellular matrix interactions and tumor compartmentalization. This review provides an in-depth focus on current developments regarding spherically structured scaffolds engineered into in vitro 3D tumor models, and discusses future advances toward all-encompassing platforms that may provide an improved in vitro/in vivo correlation in a foreseeable future.
