Human colorectal cancer-on-chip model to study the microenvironmental influence on early metastatic spread

Summary: Colorectal cancer (CRC) progression is a complex process that is not well understood. We describe an in vitro organ-on-chip model that emulates in vivo tissue structure and the tumor microenvironment (TME) to better understand intravasation, an early step in metastasis.
