Nanobiotechnology is essential in advancing cancer research. Glioblastoma is the most aggressive form
of brain tumor in adults. In recent years, nanostructured materials have attracted considerable attention
due to their unique properties resulting from their size-dependent structural/electrical/optical behaviors,
and they have become appealing materials in many areas such as, cancer research, tissue engineering,
drug transfer and biosensor . Nanofibres offer distinct advantages in addressing complex problems that
are difficult to overcome in macro dimensions. Their unique physical and chemical properties in nano
dimensions provide solutions that are not achievable through traditional methods. In this study,
electrospun PAN and PAN/C500 nano-fibers s on ITO (Indium Tin Oxide) coated glass surface were
prepared and coated with collagen IV to establish a 3D glioblastoma tumor model using U-87 MG cells.
The cells in the model were evaluated morphologically by fluorescence microscopy and
electrochemical measurements were recorded. Electrochemical measurements were taken in addition
to fluorescence microscopy evaluation of the morphological characteristics of the cells in the threedimensional
(3D) model.
