Researchers Used Chunks Of Tumour From The Brain Of Patients With Glioblastoma To Print A 3-D Model Similar To What They See In The Patients’ MRI Scans. And Then, Pumped The Patients’ Blood Into The 3-D Model With A Compound That Mimics The Brain, To Test The Efficacy Of A Potential Treatment Before Using It On The Real Body. Cool!
