Imaging-coupled 3D model to study tumor microenvironments

2016
University of Michigan Medical School, Ann Arbor, USA
The study presents a combination of an imaging device with a 3D model of quiescent breast cancer cells with bone marrow cells to perform drug testing. Through label-free methods, the researchers find that bone marrow stromal cells are capable of controlling the metabolism of co-cultured breast cancer cells. Therefore, the modulation of specific metabolic pathways can eliminate those quiescent breast cancer cells. Thus, confirming that this imaging-coupled spheroid model can be used to study tumor microenvironments.
