Laboratory Blood Vessel to Study How Cancers Spread
![]() The mechanisms by which Cancers metastasize and propagate throughout the body remain mostly a mystery. Primary tumors can be found and *******, but all too frequently the Cancers randomly recur to fight a**ther fight. To better understand how cancer cells break off and travel through the Blood stream to colonize other parts of the body, researchers at Johns Hopkins University created a transparent artificial Blood Vessel in which cancer behavior can be studied close-up. The Vessel is coated with collagen and seeded with endothelial cells. Once the device is ready, a clump of breast tumor tissue tagged with fluorescent markers is placed just outside the collagen matrix. Using a microscope, the markers can be tracked as the cancer cells move through the artificial Vessel wall to reach the Blood flow within the lumen. The Johns Hopkins Institute for Na**BioTech**logy released a podcast about this research which you can listen to*here… Johns Hopkins:*Artificial blood vessel visualizes cancer cell journey… Study in journal Cancer Research:*Live-Cell Imaging of Invasion and Intravasation in an Artificial Microvessel Platform… ??????? ??????: Laboratory Blood Vessel to Study How Cancers Spread || ??????: rss || ??????: اسم منتداك
