- Metastasis in context: modeling the tumor microenvironment with cancer-on-a-chip approaches
Summary: This Review evaluates the recent contributions of cancer-on-a-chip models to our understanding of the tumor microenvironment and its role in the onset of metastasis. The authors also provide an outlook for future applications of this emerging technology.
- Parallel imaging of Drosophila embryos for quantitative analysis of genetic perturbations of the Ras pathway
Summary: Microfluidics, live imaging and systems biology techniques are combined to develop a new approach for the functional analysis of sequence variants in the highly conserved Ras signaling pathway.
