A three-dimensional in vitro tumor model representative of the in vivo tumor microenvironment

The inability to accurately reproduce the complexities of the in vivo tumor microenvironment with reductionist-based two-dimensional in vitro cell culture models has been a notable deterrent in identifying therapeutic agents that reliably translate to in vivo animal and human clinical trials. In an...
