Abstract excerpt
The physical nature of the tumor microenvironment significantly impacts tumor growth, invasion, and response to drugs. Most in vitro tumor models are designed to study the effects of extracellular matrix (ECM) stiffness on tumor cells, while not addressing the effects of ECM's specific topography. In this study, we bioengineered submucosal organoids, using primary smooth muscle cells embedded in collagen I...
