Angiogenesis induced by paracrine signaling from TME co-cultured with cancer cells and fibroblasts in HA/fibrin composite in the microfluidic platform. (A) Schematic representation of angiogenesis in fibrin gel, which was induced TME consisting of cancer cells and fibroblasts in bone-mimicking matrix. Confocal image and graph for sprouting length of blood vessels for (B,C) MKN74 and (D,E) SW620 respectively in HA/fibrin composite with varying HA concentration (0.0, 0.2, and 0.4%). (n = 5–9 chips per condition). (Scale bar: 100 μm).
