Abstract excerpt
Interactions between cancer cells and the tissue microenvironment play an essential role in controlling tumor development and progression. Here, we report that stromal modulation induced by a biodegradable meshwork (Hyalograft 3D) inhibited tumor vascularization and invasion of the locally invasive low-grade malignant human HaCaT-ras II-4 keratinocytes in a surface xenotransplantation assay. The scaffold caused...
