What Are the Advantages of Scaffold-Based Methods?
Scaffold-based methods offer several advantages over traditional 2D cell culture and animal models, including:
- Better Mimicry of Tumor Environment: Scaffolds provide a 3D structure that closely resembles the architecture of actual tumors. - Improved Drug Screening: More accurate models lead to better predictions of how drugs will perform in clinical settings. - Reduced Animal Testing: By providing a more accurate in vitro model, scaffold-based methods can reduce the need for animal testing. - Personalized Approaches: These methods allow for the creation of patient-specific models, enabling personalized treatment strategies.
