Plasticity and reciprocity of breast cancer cells to various extracellular matrice (ECMs) are three-dimensionally analyzed in quantitative way in a novel and powerful microfluidic in vitro platform. This successfully demonstrates the metastatic potential of cancer cells and their effective strategies of ECM proteolytic remodeling and morphological change, while interacting with other cells and invading into heterogeneous ECMs.
在一种新颖而强大的微流控体外平台上,以定量方式分析了乳腺癌细胞对各种细胞外基质(ECM)的可塑性和相互作用。这成功地证明了癌细胞的转移潜力,以及它们与其他细胞相互作用并侵入异质 ECM 时有效进行 ECM 蛋白水解重塑和形态变化的策略。
