New microscopy method reveals single childhood cancer cells in unprecedented detail
(Princess M á xima Center for Pediatric Oncology) A new technique to look at tumors under the microscope has revealed the cellular make-up of Wilm's tumors, a childhood kidney cancer, in unprecedented detail. This new approach could help understand how tumors develop and grow, and fuel research into new treatments for children's cancers. Scientists at the Princess M á xima Center for pediatric oncology developed a new imaging technique to study millions of cells in 3D tissue, revealing hundreds of features from each individual cell.
