Article Synopsis
- Oncology is shifting towards genome-driven practices, but most cancer diagnostics still rely on traditional microscopy methods, creating delays in using new genomic biomarkers for patient treatment.* -
- Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) can improve diagnostics by detecting numerous genomic changes in one cost-effective test, and it has been shown to be feasible and valid in a clinical setting, with results provided in about 11 workdays.* -
- Successful WGS implementation, such as at the Netherlands Cancer Institute, requires a detailed protocol addressing sample handling and integration into clinical workflows to overcome challenges faced by pathology labs using conventional sample methods.*
Timely vascularization is essential for optimal performance of bone regenerative constructs. Vascularization is efficiently stimulated by vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), a substance with a short half-life time. This study investigates the controlled release of VEGF from gelatin microparticles (GMPs) as a means to prolong VEGF activity at the preferred location within 3D bioprinted scaffolds, and the effects on subsequent vascularization.
