The new platform combines microfluidic lab-on-a-chip technology with physiologically relevant 3D spheroids to enable formation and long-term culture of 3D multicellular tumors / organoids for drug screening and individualized chemosensitivity testing
They can live up to 30 years and their remarkable resistance to age-related diseases may offer scientists key clues to the mysteries of aging and cancer
Current cancer research focuses primarily on biochemical signaling, but bioelectric signals are another communication system that interacts with biochemical messenger
