Realistic cancer environment model created by 3D jet writing method

Researchers have used 3D jet writing to create a realistic cancer environment which can be used to study the spread of cancer. A study published in Advanced Materials has described a novel method for the development of a model to mimic a life-like cancer environment through the printing and production of polymer microtissues, potentially allowing the development of our current understanding of the spread of cancer. One of the hurdles in the treatment of cancer has been the inability to experiment with metastasis, which is the cause for the majority of deaths from cancer. 3D printers have previously been used...
