Abstract

<p>Using an automatic microfluidics droplet platform, Ding et al. successfully replicated the tumor micro-environment by generating micro-organospheres, which were then used to predict the response to anti-tumor drugs. These miniature models could be obtained within an extremely short time frame of 14 days, amplifying their role in facilitating cancer treatment decisions.</p>
