Abstract
Ross Harrison (1870–1959) was the first to attempt to culture tissues in vitro using culture dishes. In 1907 he had grown tadpole tissue in a coagulated interstitial liquid from frog using the hanging drop technique [104]. This technique is still used today to generate spheroids in vitro and to culture them.
