Abstract excerpt
Recent advances in organ-on-a-chip (OOC) blood-brain barrier (BBB) models for oncology research have revealed key insights into the metastatic cascade. However, in most 3D BBB systems, type I collagen is commonly selected as the brain-side extracellular matrix (ECM) due to its ease of use and affordability. This selection overlooks the native ECM composition of the brain, which is primarily composed of...
