An Advanced 3D Model of Vascularized Epithelial Ovarian Cancer in a Tumor-on-a-Chip System Based on Multi-Cell Culture [PDF]

open access: yesSensors
Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is a highly lethal malignancy characterized by significant heterogeneity and poor prognosis due to late-stage diagnosis and chemotherapy resistance.

Dissecting Effects of Anti-cancer Drugs and Cancer-Associated Fibroblasts by On-Chip Reconstitution of Immunocompetent Tumor Microenvironments

open access: yesCell Reports, 2018
Summary: A major challenge in cancer research is the complexity of the tumor microenvironment, which includes the host immunological setting. Inspired by the emerging technology of organ-on-chip, we achieved 3D co-cultures in microfluidic devices ...

Tumor-on-a-chip: from bioinspired design to biomedical application. [PDF]

open access: yesMicrosyst Nanoeng, 2021
AbstractCancer is one of the leading causes of human death, despite enormous efforts to explore cancer biology and develop anticancer therapies. The main challenges in cancer research are establishing an efficient tumor microenvironment in vitro and exploring efficient means for screening anticancer drugs to reveal the nature of cancer and develop ...

From Spheroids to Tumor-on-a-Chip for Cancer Modeling and Therapeutic Testing. [PDF]

open access: yesMicromachines (Basel)
The high failure rate of anticancer drugs in clinical trials highlights the need for preclinical models that accurately reproduce the structural, biochemical, and mechanical complexity of human tumors. Conventional two-dimensional cultures and animal models often lack the physiological complexity required to predict clinical outcomes, driving the ...

Magnetic hyperthermia therapy in glioblastoma tumor on-a-Chip model. [PDF]

open access: yesEinstein (Sao Paulo), 2020
To evaluate the magnetic hyperthermia therapy in glioblastoma tumor-on-a-Chip model using a microfluidics device.The magnetic nanoparticles coated with aminosilane were used for the therapy of magnetic hyperthermia, being evaluated the specific absorption rate of the magnetic nanoparticles at 300 Gauss and 305kHz. A preculture of C6 cells was performed

Biofabrication approaches and regulatory framework of metastatic tumor-on-a-chip models for precision oncology. [PDF]

open access: yesMed Res Rev, 2022
AbstractThe complexity of the tumor microenvironment (TME) together with the development of the metastatic process are the main reasons for the failure of conventional anticancer treatment. In recent years, there is an increasing need to advance toward advanced in vitro models of cancer mimicking TME and simulating metastasis to understand the ...

Microfluidic Tumor-on-a-Chip Model to Study Tumor Metabolic Vulnerability. [PDF]

open access: yesInt J Mol Sci, 2020
Tumor-specific metabolic adaptations offer an interesting therapeutic opportunity to selectively destroy cancer cells. However, solid tumors also present gradients of nutrients and waste products across the tumor mass, forcing tumor cells to adapt their metabolism depending on nutrient availability in the surrounding microenvironment.

Glioma-on-a-Chip Models

open access: yesMicromachines, 2021
Glioma, as an aggressive type of cancer, accounts for virtually 80% of malignant brain tumors. Despite advances in therapeutic approaches, the long-term survival of glioma patients is poor (it is usually fatal within 12–14 months).
