Innovative approaches to establish and characterize primary cultures: an ex vivo 3D system and the zebrafish model

Innovative approaches to establish and characterize primary cultures: an ex vivo 3D system and the zebrafish model

Patient-derived specimens are an invaluable resource to investigate tumor biology. However, in vivo studies on primary cultures are often limited by the small amount of material available, while conventional in vitro systems might alter the features and behavior that characterize cancer cells. We pr...
