Summary:
- This article discusses a new platform developed by researchers at Rice University that can help study how cancer cells spread throughout the body, a process known as metastasis.
- The platform uses microfluidic technology to create a 3D environment that mimics the natural environment of cancer cells, allowing researchers to observe and analyze their behavior in real-time.
- By understanding the mechanisms behind cancer cell migration and invasion, this platform can aid in the development of more effective treatments to prevent the spread of cancer and improve patient outcomes.
