YouTube movie on microphysiological system and adoptive cell therapy
Movie explaining details of recent BEL paper on microphysiological system to advance adoptive cell therapy published on YouTube.
Adoptive cell therapy has emerged as promising cancer treatment in recent years. Despite its advantages, clinical applications of this patient-specific therapy face, however, many challenges. The novel microfluidic platform, developed in our group in collaboration with members from Timm Schroeder’s group (O. Nguyen, P. Misun, C. Lohasz, J. Lee, W. Wang, T. Schroeder, and A. Hierlemann, "An immunocompetent microphysiological system to simultaneously investigate effects of anti-tumor natural killer cells on tumor and cardiac microtissues", Frontiers in Immunology 2021, Vol. 12, p. 5171) will help to improve the process of identifying potent anti-tumor immune cells and their corresponding targets. It is aimed at bridging the gap between in-vitro and in-vivo studies.
