title = "Application of a Microfluidic-Based Model of a Human Prostate Gland for Cancer Research",
abstract = "A Microfluidic-based model of a human prostate gland has been developed featuring a 3D co-culture of epithelial and stromal cells. The model was used to investigate the effects of normal stroma on normal luminal epithelial cell differentiation, and to measure the ability of cancerous epithelium to convert normal stroma to cancer stroma. The ability of PIM1 kinase to induce cancer stroma was also tested in the model. The results demonstrate a promising potential of the model for cancer research applications.",
