  1. Pharmaceutical companies have developed sophisticated automated processes that screen cancer drugs by testing them on malignant cells—in a dish. The Petri dish has influenced the fundamental direction of much cancer research, in Wirtz's view.

  2. Nov 10, 2023 · Researchers have reprogrammed skin cells to create cardiomyocytes, the cells that enable heart muscle to contract, and have begun using them for dish-based drug screening. In this micrograph of a cardiomyocyte, the orange indicates the protein troponin T, while the blue depicts the nucleus.

  3. Jun 17, 2021 · In a bid to find or refine laboratory research models for cancer that better compare with what happens in living people, Johns Hopkins Medicine scientists report they have developed a new computer-based technique showing that human cancer cells grown in culture dishes are the least genetically similar to their human sources.

  4. Jun 1, 2018 · An alternative approach to modeling cancer in a dish entails reprogramming adult differentiated cells from patients with cancer syndromes to pluripotent stem cells (PSCs), followed by directed differentiation of those PSCs.

  5. Jun 11, 2015 · In a highly successful, first-of-its-kind endeavor, a multidisciplinary team of University of Wisconsin–Madison researchers has created a “tumor in a dish:” an ex vivo microenvironment that can accurately anticipate a multiple myeloma patient’s response to a drug.

  6. Jan 11, 2012 · These new findings support the notion that drugs that are currently being tested to treat many cancers need to be screened using more complex tissue-like systems, rather than by using conventional petri dish cultures that do not fully manifest features of many cancers.
