The tumor microenvironment represents the blood vessels, immune cells, stromal cells, and the extracellular matrix, surrounding a growing tumor, all of which work in conjunction to aid tumor growth. Thus, understanding these complex tumor-stroma interactions is key to developing effective and targeted anti-cancer therapies. This talk will elucidate how 3D bioprinting can be applied to recapitulate this dynamic microenvironment to study various hallmarks of cancer.
