Microfluidics Reveal Tumor Immune Microenvironment Dynamics
Researchers at the Medical Research Center and School of Medicine, Southern University of Science and Technology report in Cancer Biology & Medicine that microfluidic platforms are emerging tools for modeling tumor–immune interactions, evaluating immunotherapy efficacy, and manufacturing therapeutic components. The review details chip-based models capturing macrophage migration, vascular intravasation/extravasation, immune-cell heterogeneity, and on-chip testing of CAR-T, TCR-T, NK cells, and checkpoint blockade. Authors urge better in vivo validation, clinical correlation, and higher-throughput systems for translation.
Scoring Rationale
Comprehensive peer-reviewed review with broad translational relevance, but mainly synthesizes existing methods rather than novel experimental breakthroughs.
