By using cells isolated from cancer patients and mixing them with a new technology called “OssiGel”, it is possible to engineer human mini-bones. These miniaturized organs consist of mature bone and marrow tissue and can be used as model to study the disease mechanisms behind cancers that arise in bone marrow or spread to the bones, and offer the personalized testing of new drugs.
