Development and standardisation of a vascularised-brain tumour neurosphere model using organ-on-a-chip technology for high throughput

University of Dundee
School of Medicine
Gliomas are among the most aggressive and treatment-resistant forms of brain cancer. Despite advances in surgery, radiotherapy and targeted therapies, patient outcomes remain poor, largely because the blood-brain barrier (BBB) restricts drug delivery and tumour cells rapidly develop resistance to treatment.
