Abstract
Numerous cancer models have been developed to investigate the effects of mechanical stress on the biology of cells. Here we describe a protocol to fabricate a perfusion model to culture 3-dimensional (3D) ovarian cancer nodules under constant flow. The modular design of this model allows for a wide range of treatment regimens and combinations, including PDT and chemotherapy. Finally, methods for a number of readouts are detailed, allowing researchers to investigate a variety of biological and cytotoxic parameters related to mechanical stress and therapeutic modalities.Entities:
