 | | Manipulating 3D Printed Organoid Microenvironments
Organoids are 3D clusters of stem cells that come together and emulate the microenvironment within individual organs, whether that be liver, kidney, heart, gut or other specific organs. Recent advances in printing such organoids reproducibly and reliably into multiple arrays has attracted significant attention recently as they open up new opportunities to develop a deeper understanding of fundamental cell biology as well as increase the efficacy of therapeutics, reduce their development cost and lead to a paradigm shift in disease treatment.

 | | To develop effective therapeutics against pathogens, scientists need to first uncover how they attack host cells. An efficient way to conduct these investigations on an extensive scale is through high-speed screening tests called assays. | | | | A research group from the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology of the University of Valencia (UV), in coordination with the National Centre for Biotechnology (CNB) of the CSIC, has studied the role of the interactions within the membrane of proteins of viral families Herpesviridae and Poxviridae in the control of programmed cell death. | | | | Australian researchers have identified a protein that could protect the kidneys from 'bystander' damage caused by cancer therapies. | | | | Early circulating tumor cell dynamics were associated with overall survival in patients with metastatic breast cancer, according to a meta-analysis presented at the 2020 San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium, held Dec. 8-11. | |
