Izmir Institute of Technology, Izmir, Turkey
Custom-designed 3D cell-on-a-chip devices are used for the investigation of cellular migration/invasion (IC-chip) and chemotaxis (DDI-chip). The systems reveal human breast cancer cells and macrophages in a paracrine-juxtacrine loop. Comparative 3D co-culture experiments showed that breast cancer cells changed their multicellular organization in the presence of macrophages.
