Talk Title: Engineered Microenvironments to Study Tumor Angiogenesis
Abstract: Tumor angiogenesis is regulated by dynamic interactions between tumor and stromal cells, which evolve in response to dysregulated microenvironmental conditions. Compared to normal tissues, tumors are characterized by aberrant 3-D cell-cell and cell-extracellular matrix interactions as well as variations in tissue oxygen tension. However, the biological and physical phenomena by which these parameters modulate the heterogeneous pro-angiogenic capability of tumor and stromal cells remain unclear due in part to the lack of appropriate model systems. This talk will highlight the importance of integrated tissue engineering, cancer biology, and computational modeling approaches to investigate the molecular, cellular, and tissue level responses underlying tumor angiogenesis. A particular emphasis will be placed on evaluating the regulatory roles of tissue oxygen level and physiochemical properties of the extracellular matrix using microfabricated 3-D culture models and advanced imaging approaches, respectively. These studies advance our understanding of tumor heterogeneity and may inform the design of anti-angiogenic therapies for more efficacious therapies for cancer patients.
