3+ day, 8+ hour ago  (441+ words) The Princeton team's new study combined a 3 D microfluidic tumor model with physiologically relevant culture media to determine the impact of circulating nutrient concentrations on tumor growth, cancer cell invasion, and overall tumor metabolism. The findings revealed a shocking truth:…...

3+ day, 10+ hour ago  (652+ words) Can we target cancer cells without hurting normal ones? This question represents one of the toughest challenges in contemporary cancer treatment. Now novel therapies are changing the landscape by releasing drugs directly into tumors. This creates a less destructive anticancer…...
