Bioengineers develop lotus leaf-inspired system to advance study of cancer cell clusters Device enables 3D nanoscale modeling of tumor progression.

Rice University bioengineers harnessed the lotus effect to develop a system for culturing cancer cell cell clusters that can shed light on hard-to-study tumor properties.

The superhydrophobic array device (SHArD) designed by Rice bioengineer Michael King and collaborators can be used to create.

The cluster-forming device has opened the door to new areas of research into the dangerous clusters found in the bloodstream of late-stage cancer patients.

The fact that SHArD was successfully used to grow spheroidal models of primary tumors already expands the cancer modeling toolkit.
