A team led by the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC) and the Hospital del Mar Research Institute has developed the MIRO (Micro Immune Response On chip), a device that allows researchers to replicate the characteristics of tumors and their environment using patient cells. It is a tool that can help speed up the development of new cancer therapy treatments as well as select the most suitable ones for each person. The work has been published in the journal Nature Communications.
