Lung cancer is a leading cause of death worldwide, with only a fraction of patients responding to immunotherapy. The correlation between increased T-cell infiltration and positive patient outcomes has motivated the search for therapeutics promoting T-cell infiltration. While transwell and spheroid platforms have been employed, these models lack flow and endothelial barriers, and cannot faithfully model T-cell adhesion, extravasation and migration through 3D tissue. Presented here is a 3D chemotaxis assay, in a lung tumor-on-chip model with 3D endothelium (LToC-Endo), to address this need...
