New Organ-On-A-Chip Finds Crucial Interaction Between Blood, Ovarian Cancer Tumors
Researchers at Texas A&M University are pushing organ-on-a-chip devices to new levels that could change the way clinicians approach cancer treatment, particularly ovarian cancer. A team has recently submitted a patent disclosure with the Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station.
The research team, led by Abhishek Jain, an assistant professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering with a joint appointment in the College of Medicine, has created a device that focuses on platelets, tiny blood cells that help the body form clots to stop bleeding. The ovarian tumor microenivornment-chip (OTME-Chip) is about the size of a USB and models the properties of a tumor in the lab. Researchers can use the microdevice to recreate events within platelets circulating in the blood as they approach the tumor and make it more potent and metastatic.
Researchers develop ovarian tumor microenvironment-chip to test novel ways to treat the disease
In the evolving field of cancer biology and treatment, innovations in organ-on-a-chip microdevices allow researchers to discover more about the disease outside the human body. These organs-on-chips serve as a model of the state an actual cancer patient is in, thus allowing an opportunity to finding the correct treatment before administering it to the patient. At Texas A&M University, researchers are pushing these devices to new levels that could change the way clinicians approach cancer treatment, particularly ovarian cancer.
