). 3D tumor spheroids were then cultured and subjected to the same stresses. Live/dead cell staining revealed that once more, seed nanofibers with 20 wt% paclitaxel, Abraxane®, and paclitaxel all exhibited similar levels of potency (55% viability), whereas control samples exhibited much higher cell viability (70%) after 3 days. These results demonstrate that nanofibers contain great potential as biocompatible drug delivery vehicles for cancer treatment as they exert a similar anticancer effect to the commercially available Abraxane®.
