文章亮點：

1.Microtissues (3D) from three different osteosarcoma cell lines were developed.

  取三種不同的骨肉瘤細胞系（SaOS-2、HOS和MG-63細胞），采用insphero 3D細胞懸滴培養板構建3D骨肉瘤微組織

2. Microtissues from patient-derived osteosarcoma were produced.

  骨肉瘤細胞系（SaOS-2、HOS和MG-63細胞），均取自成骨肉瘤和軟骨肉瘤病人

3.Inherent osteosarcoma tissue heterogeneity was shown with different microtissues.

  不同的微組織，會顯示出骨肉瘤固有的組織異質性

4.Five drug responses were analysed in 3D showing differences compared to 2D.

  用五種藥物（阿霉素、順鉑、牛磺羅定、培美曲塞、紫杉醇）對3D骨肉瘤微組織用藥，實驗結果是不同于常規2D細胞培養的

總結：

The 3D microtissues reflect the tissue heterogeneity of OS and are potential suitable tools for drug development towards personalised medicine

3D微組織能夠反映出骨肉瘤（OS）固有的組織異質性，它將成為藥物開發以及走向個人化醫療過程中的有潛力工具。
