title = "A microfluidic model to study the metastatic cascade: From adhesion to migration",
abstract = "This paper presents a microfluidic model for studying the sequential steps of the cancer extravasation process, in which cancer cells exit capillaries and enter organs. We demonstrate the functionality of this model by co-culturing and observing the adhesion of SK-Mel-28 (Malignant Melanoma) cells to a Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cell (HUVEC) monolayer, followed by their migration through this HUVEC layer into gelatin-filled microgaps.",
