Cancer Dormancy as a Collective Phenomenon Across Scales in Length and Time: Biological Observations and Advanced 3D Bioengineered Models Cancer dormancy refers to an asymptomatic stage in cancer progression that contains residual disease. Cancer cells can disseminate from early tumors even before they are detectable, from advanced tumo...

Excited to share our latest team effort with a review article lead by #UnaiHeras on #cancer #dormancy, the #dynamic interplay across #length and #timescales, and understanding this collective phenomenon through advanced #bioengineered models, published in #AnnuRevCancerBiol. πŸ‘‰ bit.ly/3YQ1GA0

The Healikick project is developing next generation bone graft materials to repair non-healing broken bones.

The UofG-led project with researchers from across Europe is developing new technology which offers hope for patients with non-healing fractures.

We've had the honor to welcome patients with #metastatic #breastcancer. Their energy & enthusiasm for research was deeply touching, as it were their stories. We were left speechless and even more motivated to continue our research. Thank you! @CMMetastasico @canceryconmetas @Maitetabizi #izaniΓ±urri
