Event Description:
Many of the current two-dimensional (2D) cell culture models used in prostate cancer research fail to recapitulate the prostate tumor microenvironment leading to low predictivity of the models. Physiologically based, 3D in vitro systems offer the potential to enhance the complexity and fidelity of 2D systems as they incorporate many components present in the in vivo tumor including extracellular matrix, stromal cell types, and perfusion. This presentation will review the setup and applications of a prostate tumor-on-a-chip model. |
