Researchers develop new technique to study ‘microcancers’ and screen cancer-fighting drugs
By Advancing the Science contributor 
A team from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign’s Grainger College of Engineering and Mayo Clinic have developed a new technique for creating “microcancer” cell cultures. It allows researchers to form hundreds of microcancers in a high-throughput format using a small, microfabricated chip, enabling direct measurement of cell health or response to drugs. It also allows […]

A collaborative team of Mayo Clinic scientists is studying an innovative strategy for treating advanced cancer, using genomics and human tumor samples as their guide. The novel approach, called Ex Vivo, creates a miniature cancer replica for testing therapies outside a patient’s body, combined with a comprehensive genomic analysis of a patient’s cancer cells. “We […]

Mayo Clinic discovery advances potential individualized treatment for mesothelioma
Large chromosomal rearrangements present in mesothelioma could make it possible to understand which patients are likely respond to immunotherapy, researchers at the Mayo Clinic Center for Individualized Medicine have discovered. The research is published in the Journal of Thoracic Oncology. “What we’ve shown so far is that these large complex chromosomal rearrangements are frequent in […]
