Tumorigenic cell selection and substrate rigidity manipulation using 2D and 3D extracellular matrices

Summary: Soft fibrin gels are used to select tumorigenic cells and regulate the stemness and metastasis of colorectal cancer cells via mechanotransduction. This protocol details steps to produce two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) extracellular matrices for substrate rigidity manipulatio...
