Answer no. 3️⃣: The📷shows numerous cerebral #organoids - so-called mini-brains🧠 - interspersed with GFP-labeled brain tumor cells. The @loewe-fci.bsky.social team, led by Dr. Hau and Dr. Buhlmann, investigates how tumor cells interact w/🧠-like tissue to understand how brain #tumors spread+behave.
Lösung Nr.3️⃣: Zu sehen sind zerebrale Organoide – sogenannte Mini-🧠– durchzogen von GFP-markierten Hirntumorzellen. Das Team um Dr. Hau ( @loewe-fci.bsky.social y.social) +Dr. Buhlmann erforscht, wie #Tumorzellen mit hirnähnlichem Gewebe interagieren, um das Verhalten von Tumoren besser zu verstehen.
The answer to our last riddle (provided by @melanietichet.bsky.social of @loewe-fci.bsky.social 🙏): It's a melanoma tumor being reprogrammed by combination therapy: It becomes vulnerable as🆕blood vessels allow immune cells to enter+attack (tumor vessels:♦️,new vessels:🟢,immune cells:🧊,cell nuclei🔵).
Die Antwort auf das letzte Rätsel (bereitgestellt v. @melanietichet.bsky.social v. @loewe-fci.bsky.social🙏): Es ist ein durch eine Kombinationstherapie umprogrammiertes Melanom: Neue Blutgefäße helfen Immunzellen, den Tumor anzugreifen (Tumorgefäße:♦️, neue Gefäße:🟢, Immunzellen:🧊, Zellkerne:🔵).
