Researchers discover a method to preserve breast tissue for a week using a gel solution, maintaining its structure and drug response capabilities, potentially eliminating animal testing in breast cancer research.
Researchers have discovered how to preserve breast tissue outside the body for at least a week using a special gel solution. The study, funded by Prevent Breast Cancer charity, found that this preserved tissue maintains its structure, cell types, and ability to respond to drugs. This breakthrough could lead to the development of new drugs to treat and prevent breast cancer without the need for animal testing.
