The aim of this study was the morphological characterisation of glioblastoma multiforme tumour grown in ovo. Tumour cells (U-87 MG) were implanted on the chorioallantoic membrane of chicken egg. The structural features of cultured tumours resembled the spontaneous glioblastoma multiforme; however, the differences were also indicated. Our results confirm applicability of in ovo culture in tumour genesis studies. The described novel model may be profoundly helpful for the future research on molecular mechanisms of tumour growth inhibition.
