Testing therapies on mini-tumors of head and neck cancer
Head and neck cancer is an aggressive type of cancer that often grows back, despite patients undergoing harsh treatments. Researchers of the Hubrecht Institute (KNAW) and UMC Utrecht succeeded in growing mini-tumors (or organoids) of head and neck cancers, that can be kept alive in the petri-dish for a long time. Else Driehuis, researcher at the Hubrecht Institute: "These mini-tumors can be used to better understand this complex disease. Moreover, organoids allow us to test both novel and existing therapies in the lab, without burdening the patient."

Their paper, "To improve ecological understanding, collect infection data," presents case studies in which host-parasite relationship and infection data affected the interpretation of ecological outcomes. The study is published in Ecosphere.
