Can 3D models with human cells provide new Insights into disease development and treatment?
Being able to research various treatment options without the need to use animals or expose humans to unnecessary treatments is an important goal in medical research. In Maria Schröder's doctoral work at the Faculty of Dentistry, she developed tissue-like 3D models of oral tissues which can help to study the gum disease periodontitis.
