Advances in 3D Vascularized Tumor-on-a-Chip Technology
2022Tumors disrupt the normal homeostasis of human body as they proliferate in abnormal speed. For constant proliferation, tumors recruit new blood vessels transporting nutrients and oxygen. Immune system simultaneously recruits lymphatic vessels to induce the death of tumor cells. Hence, understanding tumor dynamics are important to developing anti-cancer

The design basis and application in urology of the tumor-on-a-chip platform
Urologic Oncology: Seminars and Original Investigations, 2022Clinical research has been desperately looking for effective treatments for tumors. As the molecular mechanisms of tumors have not been thoroughly defined, and the problem of anti-tumor drug resistance and clinical drug screening are not effective, new ways are currently needed to explore and improve.
