Bioengineering Models for Breast Cancer Research

open access: yesBreast Cancer: Basic and Clinical Research, 2015
Despite substantial advances in early diagnosis, breast cancer (BC) still remains a clinical challenge. Most BC models use complex in vivo models and two-dimensional monolayer cultures that do not fully mimic the tumor microenvironment.

A facile in vitro platform to study cancer cell dormancy under hypoxic microenvironments using CoCl2

open access: yesJournal of Biological Engineering, 2018
Background While hypoxia has been well-studied in various tumor microenvironments, its role in cancer cell dormancy is poorly understood, in part due to a lack of well-established in vitro and in vivo models. Hypoxic conditions under conventional hypoxia

An in Vitro Microenvironment for Nucleus Pulposus Regeneration

open access: yes, 2019
Intervertebral disc degeneration begins early in life, increases with age, and can ultimately result in disc failure. At the center of the disc, the nucleus pulposus (NP) resides in a hypoxic environment where degeneration is thought to begin. Initially, nucleus pulposus cells (NPCs) display altered morphology and function, along with increased rates ...
