3D bioprinting platform replicates patient-specific tumors
Bowel cancer patients could in the future benefit from a new 3D bioprinting technology which would use their own cells to replicate the complex cellular environment of solid tumors in 3D models. The University of Bristol-led ...

With vibrator used in cell phones, researchers develop 3D tumor spheroids to screen for anti-cancer drugs
Depending on their location, cancer cells within a three-dimensional (3D) tumor structure can have different microenvironments. Cells in the core of the tumor receive less oxygen (hypoxia) and nutrients than those in the ...
