"Blackhole"
"This image shows a spheroid containing hepatocytes derived from human pluripotent stem cells and cultured for up to 7 days. Fibronectin (red), PDX1 (yellow) and collagen 1 (grey). This liver spheroid can be co-cultured to develop a 3D in-vitro model of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma metastasis to the liver."

"Triple Negative Breast Cancer cells attachment on novel bio-chips for real-time detection of tumour acidification (by Melina Beykou and Lewis Keeble)"
"Our aim is the development of a Lab-on-Chip device which uses an Ion-Sensitive Field Effect Transistor (ISFET) array on a CMOS platform for the real-time detection of acidification in the tumour microenvironment. This image illustrates the attachment of triple negative breast cancer cells onto the ISFET array."

"Livering the Dream - Liver-on-a-Chip"
"Liver-on-a-chip scaffold cultured in the CN Bio PhysioMimix multi-organ microphysiological system. Primary hepatocytes were cultured for 4 days before being cocultured with a lung-on-a-chip model for a further 4 days. Scaffolds were fixed and stained for albumin (yellow), alpha-tubulin (green), actin (magenta) and nuclei (blue)."
