Artificial lung cancer tissue could help find new drug treatments
A 3D hydrogel created by researchers in University Professor Molly Shoichet’s (ChemE, IBBME) lab is helping University of Ottawa researchers to quickly screen hundreds of potential drugs for their ability to fight highly invasive cancers. Cell invasion is a critical hallmark of metastatic cancers, such as certain types of lung and brain cancer. Fighting these […]
