Scientists in the United States have invented a new technology to implant micro glass into the skin of mice to observe the spread of cancer cells, which is expected to be used to verify the efficacy of various drugs in controlling cancer cells When using this technique to observe the condition of cancer cells, researchers have to plant a piece of micro glass about 5mm long and 3MM WIDE into the skin of mouse mammary gland, and then inject cancer cells into the tissue of mouse mammary gland, Reuters reported Thursday In this way, researchers can use the green fluorescent protein, which won the Nobel Prize in chemistry this year, to observe the process of tumor development under ultraviolet irradiation Jeffrey Siegel, a researcher at the Einstein School of medicine at Yeshiva University in New York who led the development of the technology, said the technology could be widely used in medical trials "We hope that the technology can be used to detect the effects of various drugs on inhibiting the invasion and metastasis of cancer cells." The findings are published in Zui's new British scientific journal, natural methods.
