But harvesting live tumors is painful and dangerous, and creating new tumors in a lab can be time-consuming and difficult. Purdue University researchers have developed a novel solution: inkjet-printed tumors. The researchers print biomaterial in a unique two-dimensional pattern, and these specimens naturally fold in on themselves to become lifelike three-dimensional tumoroids, in a process called morphogenesis.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/engineering.purdue.edu\/ME\/News\/2023\/inkjetprinted-tumors-custom-cancer-drug-testbeds-in-less-than-a-day\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Read more on the School of Mechanical Engineering website.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Media are encouraged to share, post and publish this content.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<div id=\"note\" class=\"post-content__attribution \">\n    <div class=\"columns\"> \n                    <div class=\"column\"> \n                <p class=\"post-content__source\">\n                    <strong>Media contact:\u00a0<\/strong>Kayla Albert,\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:wiles5@purdue.edu\">wiles5@purdue.edu<\/a><br>                <\/p>\n            <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. &mdash; Cancer researchers often require live tumors to test their new treatments.
