Native-mimicking in vitro microenvironment: an elusive and seductive future for tumor modeling and tissue engineering
Abstract Human connective tissues are complex physiological microenvironments favorable for optimal survival, function, growth, proliferation, differentiation, migration, and death of tissue cells. Mimicking native tissue microenvironment using various three-dimensional (3D) tissue culture systems i...
