Engineering Breakthrough Will Allow Cancer Researchers to Create Live Tumors With a 3D Printer
Philadelphia PA (SPX) Apr 30, 2014 - Drexel's Wei Sun, PhD, Albert Soffa chair professor in the College of Engineering, has devised a method for 3D printing tumors that could soon be taking cancer research out of the petri dish. Using a mixture of cervical cancer cells and a hydrogel substance that resembles an ointment balm, Sun can print out a tumor model that can be used for studying their growth and response to treatment. ... more
