A humanized orthotopic tumor microenvironment alters the bone metastatic tropism of prostate cancer cells

McGovern et al. establish an orthotopic, humanized prostate cancer model to study bone metastasis. The authors demonstrate that a humanized tumor microenvironment (TME) influences the metastatic spread of cancer cells to tissue-engineered bone, highlighting the importance of the TME in prostate canc...
