Co-cultures models of cancer cells for testing new therapeutic nanosystems

Nowadays, nanotechnology has been considered as a potential tool for the development of new drug delivery systems, such as nanoparticles. Although, before these approaches can be considered as anti-tumoral treatments, they need to be thoroughly tested under high controlled conditions that reproduce the tumors microenvironment. In vivo, tumors are complex tissues comprised by cancer cells enclosed in a stroma, essentially formed by fibroblasts.

Modelos de co-culturas contendo células cancerígenas para testar novos sistemas terapêuticos

Na atualidade, a nanotecnologia é considerada uma ferramenta fundamental para o desenvolvimento de novos sistemas de entrega de fármacos, como por exemplo as nanopartículas. Contudo, antes de estes veículos poderem ser usados na luta contra o cancro, estes devem ser testados em condições que reproduzam as condições nativas encontradas nos tumores que afectam os seres humanos. In vivo, os tumores são massas complexas de tecido constituído por células cancerígenas rodeados por células do estroma, principalmente fibroblastos.

EACR Travel Fellowships to advance your research

The EACR Travel Fellowship scheme is intended to assist cancer researchers to advance their research and is supported by EACR and the Association for International Cancer Research (AICR).

The fellowships mainly give opportunities for researchers to work in exciting new contexts across Europe: they support the development of research by visiting and working in a centre of excellence or participating in specialised practical workshops and courses.
