Miniaturising organoid drug screens using nanofibrillar cellulose hydrogels

21 June 2022 | By ,

Drug testing on advanced cell-based models such as organoids has gained in popularity, but significant technical hurdles remain that prevent further assay miniaturisation and higher assay throughput. Through the replacement of animal-derived basement membranes with wood-derived nanofibrillar cellulose hydrogel (NFC), Dr Tijmen Booij and Dr Christian Stirnimann from ETH Zurich,…
