Self-Assembling Polypeptide Hydrogels as a Platform to Recapitulate the Tumor Microenvironment

Self-Assembling Polypeptide Hydrogels as a Platform to Recapitulate the Tumor Microenvironment

The tumor microenvironment plays a critical role in modulating cancer cell migration, metabolism, and malignancy, thus, highlighting the need to develop in vitro culture systems that can recapitulate its abnormal properties. While a variety of stiffness-tunable biomaterials, reviewed here, have been...
