New scientific advances have also made it possible to replace animals in some types of research.
At Bath, experiments into how pancreatic cancer affects nerve cells - grown from human stem cells - are finding new therapies to target tumour growth.

We spoke to Prof Richard Grose about @TheGroseLab's latest study, which uses mini-tumours to understand how #pancreaticcancer coerces normal cells to help it spread to other tissues.

New paper in Journal Pathology from @TheGroseLab on regulation of fibroblast function in #PancreaticCancer. Using 3D models of cancer invasion we show that two related collagen enzymes have dramatically opposing roles on myofibroblast differentiation. https://t.co/736J6OeVRN
PhD opportunity in my lab @LifeScienceBath @GW4BioMedDTP
Use 3D cell culture models and zebrafish to explore how pancreatic cancers interact with nerves.

So pleased to see the second half of my PhD work published in #MatrixBiology today! A study which uses 3D modelling and degradomics to identify the tumour suppressive role for the protease ADAMTS3 in #BreastCancer.

Congratulations to Dr Shayin Gibson on passing her viva yesterday @ShayinGibson ! A huge achievement and lovely to celebrate with everyone, including current @QMBCI members and some past @TheGroseLab members!
From @drrichardgrose and co - how does the microenvironment contribute to progression from #DCIS to invasive ductal carcinoma #breastcancer https://t.co/xNEUquZBUd
Very happy to see my review out in @trendscancer today! It highlights microenvironmental contributions to ductal carcinoma in situ progression, with an emphasis on identifying microenvironmental signatures for high-risk patients. https://t.co/WS2Qq7GudM
Join us 7th Sept for the final @OrganOnAChip symposium of the network funding period. We’ll be in person @QMULBartsTheLon@blizard_inst, with Lorna Ewart @emulateinc keynote and a closing celebration. Online attendance also available. Register here! https://t.co/W1msWXMive
Researchers from BCI @QMULBartsTheLon, led by Dr Angus Cameron, have found a way to modulate the invasive behaviour of #PancreaticCancer by targeting a non-cancerous cell type called fibroblasts ⬇️ https://t.co/fE04xpBMdD
📢 TAKEOVER ALERT 📢
In recognition of #BreastCancerAwarenessMonth, 3rd year PhD student Shayin will be taking over the BCI Instagram story tomorrow (26 Oct). Shayin is working on identifying biomarkers to predict #breastcancer progression 🔬 Tune in ➡️ https://t.co/X0VtuHaXSx
Our new review on 3D in vitro models of the tumour microenvironement, from selecting the right cell type to analysing the end product. @TheGroseLab https://t.co/wG0gYPSwDR
We are hiring! As part of a recently awarded Programme Foundation Award @CRUKresearch we have 3 5-year postdoc positions available 🥳. The first position, suitable for cell biologists interested in cancer biology, is now advertised👇RTs are welcome🙏
