Tumor-on-a-Chip Reveals How Pancreatic Cancer Hijacks Immune Cells
✦AI Summary
Researchers have developed a 'tumor-on-a-chip' micro-engineered model to observe how pancreatic cancer cells interact with the immune system in real time. This technology reveals how tumors create a protective environment, offering potential new targets for more effective cancer therapies.
Using a micro-engineered “tumor-on-a-chip” model, Sylvester researchers recreated the complex ecosystem surrounding pancreatic tumors and observed how cells interact dynamically. The findings reveal a critical mechanism that may explain why many therapies fail and point to new therapeutic strategies.
