This term refers to somatic cell conglomerates (spheroids) from sponges (phylum Porifera) (see also: sphere forming assay). As these animals are capable of regeneration of injured or lost body parts, such conglomerates are used as models to study de-differentiation, differentiation, transdifferentiation, and cell death of cells, as well as reparative regeneration, and morphogenesis (Custodio et al, 1998; Chernogor et al, 2011; Eerkes-Medrano et al, 2015).
