They represent a “mini-model” that closely resembles the original organ in both anatomical structure and rich cellular environment. Despite the increasing interest, no commercial […]

Glioblastoma (GBM) is an aggressive adult brain tumor, and in spite of standard of care (SOC) with radiation therapy and chemotherapy with temozolomide tumor re-growth (or recurrence) and patient relapse are inevitable.
