Scientists can use 3-D models of pancreatic cancer cells to
understand the ways in which they work and interact with surroundings. This
experiment starts off with the development of spheroids, which are the
above-mentioned models. After these spheroids are developed, the project can go
in many different directions. The current plan is to experiment on the
metabolic pathways. Pancreatic cancer cells tend to do glycolysis. So, the
experiment will definitely attempt to check how their glycolysis can be
altered. However, there is also potential for drug testing. Certain drugs can
be tested, and how these drugs affect the cells can be measured.
