Deciphering the relative contribution of vascular inflammation and blood rheology in metastatic spreading
Deciphering the relative contribution of vascular inflammation and blood rheology in metastatic spreading
Vascular adhesion of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) is a key step in cancer spreading. If inflammation is recognized to favor the formation of vascular “metastatic niches,” little is known about the contribution of blood rheology to CTC deposition. Herein, a microfluidic chip, covered by a confluent monolayer of endothelial cells, …
