Scientists grow 'Mini-Tumors' in lab to unlock secrets of rare brain tumor

NCT ID NCT05786144

Summary

This study aimed to create and study lab-grown models, called organoids, from a rare type of benign brain tumor called vestibular schwannoma. Researchers used leftover tissue from 100 patients who were already having surgery to remove the tumor. The goal was to build a 'living biobank' of these models to learn more about the tumor's biology and how it might respond to treatments in the future.
