Glass implant on tumor helps track cancer in mice
      


LONDON (Reuters) - A technique using a tiny glass window implanted on the skin of a mouse allows scientists to track individual cancer cells as they spread and attack other parts of the body, according to a study published on Sunday. This window could one day play a big role in analyzing how well developmental drugs block cancer from spreading, said Jeffrey Segall, a researcher at the Albert Einstein college of Medicine of Yeshiva University in New York.</p><div class="feedflare">
