Faithfully replicating the tumor microenvironment is critical for understanding cancer development. In our new application note In our new application note Human de-cellularized tumors as bioprinting scaffolds, we use Fluicell’s Biopixlar platform to position cells directly onto human-derived breast cancer tumors, without the use of any additional biomaterials. This creates a powerful cancer research model that closely mimics the structural and biological complexity of actual tumors.
This novel approach to producing tumor models unlocks the possibility for complex studies on cell and tumor microenvironment, cell and immune cell interactions, cancer cell invasion, and drug toxicity.
