Abstract
Cancer metastasis is a three-dimensional (3D) process which cancer cells in primary sites move toward other parts of human body. Recent studies have focused on understanding cancer cell invasion to inhibit the initiation of cancer cell migration and intravasation to finally prevent cancer metastasis over all. Therefore, it is important to understand the roles of many biochemical and biophysical factors on cancer cell invasion2-3. We have developed a novel microfluidic system to provide physiological 3D micro environment in vitro4 and applied the system to accurately evaluate the role of the factors for cancer cell invasion in 3D interacting extracellular matrix.
