Compressive stress triggers fibroblasts spreading over cancer cells to generate carcinoma in situ organization

Abstract At the early stage of tumor progression, fibroblasts are located at the outer edges of the tumor, forming an encasing layer around it. In this work, we have developed a 3D in vitro model where fibroblasts’ layout resembles the structure seen in carcinoma in situ. We use a microfluidic encap...
