Researchers in Cambridge have fabricated an augmented experience (VR) 3D model of malignant growth, giving another approach to take a gander at the illness.
The tumor test, taken from a patient, can be examined in detail and from all edges, with every individual cell mapped.
Scientists state it will build our comprehension of disease and help in the scan for new medications.
The venture is a piece of a worldwide research plot.
How it was finished
Specialists begin with a 1mm cubed bit of bosom disease tissue biopsy, containing around 100,000 cells
Slender cuts are cut, filtered and after that recolored with markers to demonstrate their atomic make-up and DNA qualities
The tumor is revamped utilizing computer generated reality
The 3D tumor can be dissected inside an augmented simulation research center
The VR framework permits different clients from anyplace on the planet to look at the tumor.
Prof Greg Hannon, executive of Cancer Research UK Cambridge Institute (CRUK), told the BBC: "Nobody has inspected the geology of a tumor in this dimension of detail previously; it is another method for taking a gander at malignant growth."
The 'virtual tumor' venture is a piece of CRUK's Grand Challenge Awards.
Inside a 'virtual' research facility, Prof Hannon and I progressed toward becoming symbols, while the malignant growth was spoken to by a multi-shaded mass of air pockets.
In spite of the fact that the human tissue test was about the extent of a pinhead, inside the virtual research facility it could be amplified to seem a few meters over.
To investigate the tumor in more detail, the VR framework enabled us to 'fly through' the cells.
The virtual tumor we were taking a gander at through our headsets was taken from the coating of the bosom drain channels.
As Prof Hannon turned the model, he indicated a gathering of cells that were taking off from the fundamental gathering: "Here you can see some tumor cells which have gotten away from the channel.
"This might be the time when the disease spread to encompassing tissue - and turned out to be extremely risky - looking at the tumor in 3D enables us to catch this minute."
Prof Karen Vousden, CRUK's main researcher, runs a lab at the Francis Crick Institute in London which analyzes how explicit qualities help shield us from disease, and what happens when they turn out badly.
She told the BBC: "Seeing how malignant growth cells collaborate with one another and with sound tissue is basic in the event that we will grow new treatments - seeing tumors utilizing this new framework is quite a lot more powerful than the static 2D renditions we are utilized to."
