Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Consider a scenario where a new cancer drug is under development. How would cultured cancer cells be used to validate its effectiveness? Discuss the steps involved.

💡 Hint: What tests might you run to see if the drug kills or stops the cancer cells from growing?

Question 2

Analyze a case where drug resistance has been observed in patients. How could researchers use cell cultures to study the mechanisms of this resistance?

💡 Hint: What changes occur in cells when they become resistant to treatment, and how can you study them?
