3D printed drug delivery system stops cancer in its tracks

A team of researchers from Washington State University (WA, USA) has reported the development of a novel drug delivery system, incorporating curcumin, that stops bone cancer growth whilst simultaneously promoting the growth of healthy cells. A team from Washington State University (WA, USA) has announced success in the 3D printing of scaffolds for a novel drug delivery system for tackling bone cancer cell growth. The study, published in ACS Applied Materials and Interfaces, could be a step towards improved post-operative treatments for patients with osteosarcoma, reportedly the second most prevalent cause of cancer death in children. In an effort to...
