Summary

Automatic Translation

We present a microfluidic cancer-on-chip model, the "Evolution Accelerator" technology, which provides a controllable platform for long-term real-time quantitative studies of cancer dynamics within well-defined environmental conditions at the single-cell level. This technology is expected to work as an in vitro model for fundamental research or pre-clinical drug development.
