Application of a 3D hydrogel-based model to replace use of animals for passaging patient-derived xenografts (2023)
Journal Article
Jones, S., Ashworth, J. C., Meakin, M., Collier, P., Probert, C., Ritchie, A. A., …Grabowska, A. M. (2023). Application of a 3D hydrogel-based model to replace use of animals for passaging patient-derived xenografts. In Vitro Models, 2, 99-111. https://doi.org/10.1007/s44164-023-00048-x

Purpose This 3D in vitro cancer model for propagation of patient-derived cells, using a synthetic self-assembling peptide gel, allows the formation of a fully characterised, tailorable tumour microenvironment. Unlike many existing 3D cancer models,... Read More about Application of a 3D hydrogel-based model to replace use of animals for passaging patient-derived xenografts.

Communication of prostate cancer cells with bone cells via extracellular vesicle RNA; a potential mechanism of metastasis (2018)
Journal Article
Probert, C., Dottorini, T., Speakman, A., Hunt, S., Nafee, T., Fazeli, A., …James, V. (2019). Communication of prostate cancer cells with bone cells via extracellular vesicle RNA; a potential mechanism of metastasis. Oncogene, 38(10), 1751-1763. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41388-018-0540-5

© 2018, The Author(s). The role of extracellular vesicles (EVs) as vehicles for cell-to-cell communication between a tumour and its environment is a relatively new concept. The hypothesis that EVs may be critical in co-opting tissues by tumours to ge...
