Samenvatting
Metastasis, the major cause of cancer related deaths, is a multi-step procedure, influenced by many factors and cues present in the tumor microenvironment. One important but not thoroughly studied factor is hypoxia. In this study, we introduce the design, fabrication and validation of a PDMS chip to study the effect of hypoxia on the migration of cancer cells in 3D. The chip contains a cell culture chamber in which a linear and stable oxygen gradient can be established by an oxygen leaching fluid flowing through a neighboring channel, and enables to observe the migration of cancer cells in 3D.
