Huge congratulations to Dr. Darren player!
Excited to report that Dr.Darren Player has been awarded a prestigious Leverhulme research fellowship. We look forward to some great research during this fellowship @RAEngNews
Paper alert! Patient-derived CAFs remodel the tumouroid matrix in a heterogenous manner. When CAFs and cancer cells mix, heterogeneity is lost, matrix softening and an invasive phenotype are observed. #tumoroid #CAFs @iScience_CP
