A Perfusion Model to Evaluate Response to Photodynamic Therapy in 3D Tumors.
Methods in molecular biology (Clifton, N.J.)(2022)
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.
