Introduction Spheroid invasion assays offer a physiologically relevant three-dimensional (3D) in vitro model for studying cancer cell behavior, surpassing the limitations of traditional two-dimensional (2D) cultures [1]. Spheroids are compact cell aggregates that recapitulate critical in vivo features, including cell–cell and cell–matrix interactions, as well as nutrient and oxygen gradients providing a more accurate representation […]

This study leveraged VitroGel®’s hydrogel system to model the tumor microenvironment and uncover the role of TIMP1 in driving venous invasion in pancreatic cancer. Hydrogel: VitroGel® Hydrogel Matrix (VHM01) Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is characterized by its aggressive nature and poor prognosis, often driven by early vascular invasion and metastasis. In this study, researchers focused […]
VitroGel® IKVAV was a key component that enabled stable vessel formation, proper cellular organization and functional BBB behavior in the 3D microfluidic model. Hydrogel: VitroGel® IKVAV (Cat. No: TWG007) The blood-brain barrier (BBB) presents a major challenge in neuro-oncology and CNS drug development due to its highly selective nature, which restricts the passage of most […]
