What are the Current Applications of Tissue Scaffolds in Cancer Research?
Tissue scaffolds are being utilized in a variety of innovative ways:
1. Cancer Modeling: Scaffolds are used to create 3D models of various cancers, including breast, prostate, and brain cancers, to study tumor growth and progression. 2. Personalized Medicine: Patient-derived cells can be cultured on scaffolds to test individualized treatment regimens, paving the way for personalized cancer therapies. 3. Immunotherapy Research: Scaffolds enable the study of immune cell-tumor interactions, aiding in the development of new immunotherapies.
