A Microscopic Image of Honeycomb Polycaprolactone Scaffold (IMAGE)
Caption
Michigan Tech researchers have discovered that triple-negative breast cancer cells preferred honeycomb scaffolds upon which to grow. Pictured here is an electrospun honeycomb polycaprolactone scaffold. By altering the scaffold matrix, researchers may in the future be able to engineer environments within the human body that are much less hospitable to cancer growth.
