3D model for lung cancer mimics the real thing | KurzweilAI | Longevity science | Scoop.it

Using a new technique that allows scientists to grow lung cancer cells in three dimensions, researchers at The Methodist Hospital and the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center have created a model that uses biological matter to form miniature lungs that mimic the structure and function of real lung cancer, after which human lung cancer cells are added.

New nanoparticles shrink tumors in mice | KurzweilAI | Longevity science | Scoop.it

MIT researchers have developed RNA-delivering nanoparticles that allow for rapid screening of new drug targets in mice.

 

By sequencing cancer-cell genomes, scientists have discovered vast numbers of genes that are mutated, deleted or copied in cancer cells. This treasure trove is a boon for researchers seeking new drug targets, but it is nearly impossible to test them all in a timely fashion.
