Advancements in 3D Cell Culture Systems for Personalizing Anti-Cancer Therapies

Over 90% of potential anti-cancer drug candidates results in translational failures in clinical trials. The main reason for this failure can be attributed to the non-accurate pre-clinical models that are being currently used for drug development and in personalised therapies. To ensure that the asse...
