System combines fibroblasts and tumor cells
Researchers developed a three-dimensional bioprinted model of human melanoma skin that replicates the tumor microenvironment. This platform allows high-throughput testing of therapies on primary human cell cultures.
- Field
- cancer research
- What they did
- Researchers developed a 3D bioprinted skin model with melanoma to test drugs at high speed.
- Why it matters
- This addresses the lack of realistic preclinical models that mimic the tumor environment, which hinders finding better treatments.
