Schematic illustration of tumor tissue slicing, manipulation, and cultivation for high-throughput drug screening. (IMAGE)
Caption
Primary tissues are fixed by the magnetic microneedle scaffold and cut into small pieces by a slicing device, which are imparted with magnetic responsiveness because of the encapsulated microneedle fragments. Tissue pieces can then be cultured in well plates, culture dishes, or microfluidic chips, enabling drug screening and guiding precise therapy.
