TUMOR MODEL FOR BREAST CANCER CELL MIGRATION STUDIES AND RELATED METHODS

摘要

A method for creating a tumor model includes encapsulating cancer cells in a first solution, disposing the first solution on a spacer, cross-linking the first solution and creating one or more high stiffness constructs, disposing a second solution around the one or more high stiffness constructs, and cross-linking the second solution and creating a low stiffness matrix surrounding the one or more low stiffness constructs.
