Scientists grow 'Mini-Tumors' in lab to hunt for better cancer detection tools
Knowledge-focused OngoingThis study aims to grow 3D models called 'organoids' from the tumors of 50 breast cancer patients. Researchers will use these mini-tumors to collect tiny particles that cells naturally release, which can seek out cancer tissue. The goal is to learn if these particles can be used …
