Institutions: Universitätsmedizin Berlin, and the German Cancer Consortium Team: Uhlitz F., Bischoff, P., Peidli, S., et al. Application: Cancer Research Disease Model: Colorectal Cancer Viability Analysis: Cyto3D® Live-Dead Assay Kit Mitogen-activated protein kinases divert the normal developmental path in colorectal cells onto a road to cancer, and distinct RNA signals reveal this change. The sequence […]
Institutions:Rutgers Team:Bhatt, R., Ravi, D., Evens, A.M., and Parekkadan, B. Application:Cancer Research Disease Model:Lymphoma Hydrogel:VitroGel® Hydrogel Matrix Cells propagated in a hydrogel 3D cell culture grow more slowly than they do in 2D cultures but exhibit more biological realism which is critical for cancer drug screening and therapy. Cancer progression is a very complex process, […]
