Experiments conducted at Vanderbilt University are vital in the fight against (cancer). Alex Walsh is using a (laser) to make what she calls organoids glow. Organoids are small pieces of a patient's (tumor ) that are about 100-to-300 micrometers in diameter. Organoids that are grown in a petri dish are dosed with cancer drugs and placed under a microscope. The tiny tumor is then blasted with a laser. That laser light makes the organoids glow because they are naturally (fluorescent ). The organoids glow to different (degrees) based on their response to the chemo drugs. It means that the result tells the researchers which drugs are (effective) for a patient.

 ヴァンダービルト大学で行われた実験は、癌との闘いに不可欠(=極めて重要）です。  Alex Walshは、レーザーを使用して、(彼女の言う）オルガノイドを輝かせています。  Organoidsは、直径が約100から300マイクロメートルの患者の腫瘍の小片です。 ペトリ皿(=シャーレ）で育てたオルガノイドに抗がん剤を投与し、顕微鏡下に置きます。 次に、小さな腫瘍にレーザーを当てます(=小さな腫瘍はレーザーで打たれる）。 そのレーザー光は、オルガノイドが自然に蛍光を発するため、それらを輝かせます。 オルガノイドは、化学療法薬に対する反応に基づいてさまざまな程度に光ります。 それは結果が研究者にどの薬が患者に有効であるかを告げることを意味します。
