(Worthy News) – Researchers at Tel Aviv University say the first 3D bioprinting of an entire active tumor marks a scientific breakthrough that will aid the battle against cancer by allowing researchers to develop bespoke cures in a simulated setting.
The university announced Wednesday that the researchers created a 3D print of glioblastoma — the deadliest type of brain cancer — from human tissues that contain all components of the malignant tumor.
“The breakthrough will enable much faster prediction of best treatments for patients, accelerate the development of new drugs and discovery of new druggable targets,” the university said in a statement. [ Source: Times of Israel (Read More…) ]
