Growing Bone Organoids to Test Bone Cancer Drugs on Cells Before Administering Them to Patients: Dr. Gian Nutal Schädli, CompagOs
While growing bone organoids, it is apparently important to take bone cells to the gym three times a week. Or – apply mechanical loading, if you want to use more precise language.
You’ll hear about

- osteosarcoma
- bone metastasis
