Abstract excerpt
Three-dimensional (3D) in vitro cell culture models are invaluable tools for investigating the tumor microenvironment. However, analyzing the impact of critical stromal elements, such as extracellular matrix (ECM), remains a challenge. In this study, we developed a hydrogel-free self-assembly platform to establish ECM-rich 3D "MatriSpheres" to deconvolute cancer cell-ECM interactions. Mouse and human colorectal...
